Default where u get your oil change

not sure if it's covered in previous thread...i did utilize the search function for the 1st 10 pages, but couldn't find the answer/thread.

so, my question is, where do u take your IS for the oil change? lexus? jiffy, walmart, gas station, change yourself? etc?

and at what interval? 5k, 10k? 3k?

what brand does lexus dealer use? and what brand do u prefer?

Lexus, it might be $10 - $20 more but you know what you are getting.

How can you be sure? A mechanic is a mechanic whether they work for lexus or Jiffy Lube. You can't be sure of what kind of service you get just because its "lexus". The only mechanic that truely cares about your car is YOU.

You click on the "Search" button here on the forum, or just read the FAQ

Just playing... You simply hold down the trip reset button while turning on the ACC ignition... Keep holding the button down until "------" is displayed...
