the 5w30 i get is not a synthetic oil.
so if i a change to the 0w30 syn what about the oil filter thats my big thing how can a oil filter go 10,000 miles without breaking down internaly will i need to get the oil filter changed still every 5k ?

You can get 5W-30 syn. oil from different brands. Mobile or castrol and others. If you use a good brand filter or even the OEM filter you don't have to change it until 10K. Filters don't break down the worse that can happen is they plug. This should not happen unless you have an engine problem. Here is a simple way to look at it. Drive the car 5000 miles and LOOK at the color of the oil on the dipstick. It should be pretty clear and almost the same color as new oil. Next check it again at 7500 miles and if it looks just a little darker then no problem . Then look at it again at 10,000 miles . Most of the newer syn. oils are good to go for 10,000 and some up to 15,000. The filter if a good one should not be the problem.

Normally i change oil around 7-10k miles but this time i replaced it yesterday at about 5k plus to clear off some extra oil container on shelf, the oil is dark when pouring out and black dark after collected in container. i use mobile 1 .

Before you change it wipe the dip stick on a clean paper towel. Next to it wipe some new out of the bottle oil . Compare the two and what do you have.

Whyll you use 0w30 weight full synthetic how often do you get oil changes ? do you still do it every 5,000 miles as recomended or do you now extend your oil changes to 10,000 miles ?
if you have extended your oil changes to every 10,000 miles how does it cosnume oil do you have to add any oil between oil changes ?
also do you chang the filter every 5,000 miles or do you only chang eth filter when doing your oil change ?
i currently purcahse a oil change package at the dealership which is 3 oil changes with 5w30 3 inspections 3 rotations and 3 car washs every 5,000 mile service for a package price of 75.00 at the toyota dealer and when i do it at the lexus dealer its mlike 125.00 really just depends on if one can get me in faster than the other onec one plan is over.
I can go to the Lexus Dealership and buy a package that gives me 1 full syn 0w20 oil change every 10,000 miles and 2 inspections and rotations and car washes every 5,000 miles for 100.00 dollars i am debating about doing that because well id rather not have to keep going in every 2 to 3 months if i could go every 6 months between oil changes i would be happy i drive about 5,000 miles every 2 to to 3 months.
BUt my concearn is what oil fild still lasts and doesn't break down every 10k ? should i insist on having the oil filter changed every 5k ? i also have a 07 ES350 like yours
thank you

0-30 is the best because it flows faster when cold and it’s good for fuel economy.
Interval is 10000 miles. OEM filter every 10000 miles. Consumption ZERO.
In the begining they said 5-30 is recomended but then they said you can put everithing from 0-20 to 5-30.
