Lexus dealer oil type for change

I live in GVA area.

Just wondering what kind of oil does Lexus dealer use for oil change on 2005 Lexus RX330?

I am guessing it's just conventional oil?

Almost all high end cars use strictly synthetic now.On my is350 f sport,the type of oil is emblazoned on the frame of the engine, as soon as you open the hood in 1 inch letters.

I just called Lexus regency lexus, they said regular oil is is used in my 2005 Lexus RX330. Guess it's because it's a older car? that's why regular oil is used?
