2015 Lexus GS 350 [Oil Change]
Cars about to hit 5k miles and would like to change oil myself.
Questions.
1. Mobil 1 0W20 OR Toyota 0W20
2. How many quarts will i need?
3. Toyota filter?
4. Anything else I need for a oil change?
First time doing oil change myself. Would appreciate all feedback. Thanks

Lexus changes the first oil change for free but if you want to change it.
1. I use Enoes Sustina 0W-20 or Castrol Oil w/Titanium 0W-20 gold bottle.
2. Your GS takes 6.55 quarts.
3. The OE filter # is 04152-YZZA3
4. There are many Youtube videos on oil and oil filter changes.
Good luck and have fun. Also auto parts stores such as O'Reilly Auto parts will take your used motor oil and oil filter for recycling.

Do use your first two free oil changes. Not sure if you can use them at any time but you may be able to. Don't throw away free money (aka something that you already paid for anyway).

Although you only need to change it every 10k I probably would do the first one at 5K. That is what I'm doing. Use full Synthetic of course. I could be wrong but I think Toyota Oil is just rebranded Mobil One oil, I don't think Toyota makes it. You will probably need 5-6 quarts and should have a little left over, save it for next time. On the filter either one should be find or just go Mobil One for Oil and filter.

Go here, join, log in and register your VIN to see the service history. http://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/history
If you bought it new and it has not had the free dealer service, then, theoretically, they should provide it. It is more than just an oil change, they can also personalize the settings on the remote, Nav and other systems. Check your owners manual.
The first free service is at 5,000 and is just a system check, then at 10,000 they change the oil.
Note my friend just got a 2016 ES 350 and was told it had special break in oil. That the dealer would change the oil at 5,000 miles and at 10,000 miles, only putting in the full synthetic at the 10,000 mile oil change.

Pretty sure car mfgs no longer recommend the mythical 1000 mile oil change, but I'd do it on a new car...my .02

I'd go with Amsoil and their oil filter. No one else can touch them. 1 year/25,000 mile oil and filter change.
