A possible trip is about 4000-5000 mile, now the car has 2000 on it. So after the trip, the odo will be 6000-7000. I wonder when it passes 5000, is it a good idea to have it oil chnaged, or leave it and do service until I come back at delaers?
The concern is, I think Lexus dealer they certainly know what kind of oil and filter to use, while other provider (say Jeffy Lube) they may use different kind and not a good idea for the engine, am I right?
Any suggestion? Thanks a lot.

If I'm not mistaken, the oil change occurring at the 5000 mile interval of your ES is a free service performed by the Lexus dealership, so by all means, bring your car to the dealership for an oil change

Yeah, I know I'd pass 5000 on my way home.
Find a Toyota dealer to do it is realy a good idea, they are virtually everywhere![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Will be any Lexus dealer on your trip? I believe Lexus will pay for the st 5k service, you could take to any Lexus dealer in US. I got my car from a Lexus dealer 20 miles away and they are going to make a reservation for my 5 k service at a closer dealer about 4 miles away for me.
