Which oil?
I know there are a couple threads out there on this already but I have a more specific question. I use only Shell 91 Octane gasoline in my ISF and am looking now to do my own oil changes. First off, what brand does Lexus use, is it Mobil? Second, is it best to keep to the same brands, like only Shell Oil if you use Shell gasoline? And finally, which oil is the best synthetic out there? Thanks guys!

This could be debated all day. I'll just tell you my thoughts. Mobil 1 5W-30. Easy to get, relatively cheap (Costco/Wal-Mart, etc.). Every 5,000 miles with Toyota filter. I'm sure there are better oils, I'm sure I'm probably changing too often (based on those that do oil analysis), but hey it will get the job done, it's more than recommended by Lexus and for a daily driver it takes care of my piece of mind. YMMV.
