WTF?!?! You're getting ripped off. I get a complete oil change service, tire pressure check, fluid check, car wash, armor-all, and vacuum of the interior every time for $52.95 total.

NO, just completely drained. I usually flush it w/ reg oil after it had completely drained to get rid of left over dirt then wait and replace it w/ syn oil. I use syn oil because our cars require 5k mi interval for oil changes and I think that's too long. My commute is only 11 mi each way. $10-$15 more for syn oil every 6 months is not that bad.

Just drain it and call it a day. If you're really worried about getting the last drop, raise the driver's side higher than the passenger's side to get as much oil as possible out of the pan.

It's funny this thread came up. I just did a 10K oil change. It cost me $15 for labor and filter! I provided them with 25K Amsoil Synthetic 0w-20. The synthetic oil was $6/qt. The only problem is I still have to change the filter every 5K. I did it at a local Toyota/Lexus shop in Oregon that has been working on Japanese cars for 25+ years. I watched them the whole time to make sure everything went right. The guy even knew how to reset my maintenance req'd soon reminder on the display.

ummm the 160 is at a lexus dealership not toyota i think because lexus dealerships knows that you got money to spend when u buy a lexus 
i just do my own oil change since i got all the tools and stuff why not spend 30 mins myself and do it the way i like it :P

I took 6 bottles of Red Line 10w-30 to Toyota to have them do an oil change in my Supra. They kept the oil and put Pennzoil conventional oil in the car. I discovered this because I ran it my Red Line usual 10k miles, and completely coked the top end of the engine. Red Line does not coke, and had never coked in the 100k miles I'd been using it in my Supra.
I will never have anyone change my oil again.

Yea I have actually heard of something like this happening.
