Ignore "krava's" reply, he's obviously drunk and can't type.

NO, you do not need to go to Lexus dealer to change oil or do ANY other maintenance. I usually go to a Toyota dealer for a $27 oil change and other maintenance. Same parts and same training. But you can take your car anywhere you want.

do lexus and toyota dealers use the same oil, i imagine? Does the gs350 start out with synthetic? My dealer charged me $52 and told me to change it again in 5k so this can be done with regular oil?? thx all

Our family have been with Sewell Lexus for years (20+ vehicles), besides they always assigned a mechanic to take care our toys!!!

I trust my serivce advisor and the mechanic, and I always bring 2 jugs of 5 quarts Mobil 1 to the dealership, and they always returned the unused back!!! Besides, the service bay is opened to the customers, so I am able to see how they work on my toys!!!

For this price, there's no way they would use Synthetic blend, let alone Full Synthetic. If that's not important to you, then more power to you.
