I read through a thread from seven years ago similar to the issue we are having..
My daughter has a 2006 Lexus IS250. Last week we had the oil changed at a quick lube place. The next day she attempted to start her car. It started, but seconds later, shut down. The VSC and power steering lights were on.
We had the car towed to a Lexus dealer, who said it was the spark plugs and replaced them. We drove the car home, stopping at two different places along the way. No issues at all. Parked the car in our yard overnight. Next morning, less than 14 hours later, had the exact same issue.
My husband is going to check the fuses tomorrow (based on a previous thread). Is it possible there is a loose connection somewhere that we are not aware of that was maybe bumped during the oil change? Any suggestions on where to start checking connections?

Green push to start is on, engine turns over w starter (cranks), but does not start??
How old is the battery. 4 to 5 years is typically a turning point where they fail. Does it sound normal when cranking? i.e. speed of cranking?
How much fuel is in the tank and is there any chance it was recently filled and then failed to start? Water in the fuel is a possibility.
