Wow, $2 a quart! That's a smokin' deal, DB. I will have to keep an eye out for that. Thank you.

 

Fair enough....I just assumed American prices are better than Canadian. Typically, anything I shop for in the States is 30% cheaper than here. I've seen Walmarts in Washington state selling 5 qt jugs of Mobil 1 syntheic oil for 21.99, and right now on their site you can get Castrol 0W20 for 22.49 and filters are usually around the 5 or 6 dollar mark.

 

I jumped on that deal too. I still haven't received my rebate !!!

 

My dealer charges about $89 for a full synthetic oil change on my LS. Well worth it for me since they also typically hand me keys to a loaner and do an inspection while they're at it. I have yet to attempt an oil change in my LS but this is mostly due to the fact that I want to have full documentation from the dealer for warranty purposes.

 

Really? Mobil is pretty good about their rebates - unlike Penzoil - who are known for not fulfilling their rebates. I did have to wait a couple months for mine but they did arrive.

 

There's this Lexus dealership here in Alexandria, Virginia that offers a spring special for $169.99. That includes an oil change, air filters changed, fluids topped off, all around check, and a car wash. That's not too bad, but no other Lexus dealership in the area is offering an oil change special.

 

Silly Me. I just got the deal last month. Now I see you said last spring. My Bad.

BTW, I just got my rebate checks for 12 bucks each. Sweet !!!

 

Nice. Took a while though huh? What filter are you using?

 

I've got about 500 miles to go before it's time so I didn't get a filter yet. I'll probably just go to the Toyota Dealer 3 miles up the street.

 

Good choice. Make sure they throw in a free drain plug gasket (mine does). On that note, be very careful to remove the old gasket....90% of the time, it gets stuck to the oil pan and needs considerable effort to remove with a screwdriver or pick. Just don't gouge the pan. Also, what does your dealer charge for the filter? Just curious if it's much different than here in Canada, where I pay about $7

What OCI are you following?

 

I guess I have time to call and get some prices. I'll let you know what I find out. BTW, I've learned so much about my car from reading your post. And, of course all the other guys too. Thanks. Be back in a few.

 

OK, just got off the phone with the Toyota dealership and they qouted me 45.99 for full synthetic oil and filter change. SWEET !!! Ireally don't need to call the Lexus Dealer now.

 

Wow! That is crazy. I pay more than that just for my oil in bulk. Well done.

 

BTW, This will be the first Oil Change since I bought the car in Febuary. I'm going by the sticker on the windshield. Looks like every 5K. I can check my paperwork to verify but, it's been at the Lexus dealer for all the Maint before I got it. All well documented.
