Synthetic oil Factory fill for 2010
I was at my local toyota dealer who also services Lexus since the next close by dealer is 45 minutes away. Anyway, I asked how much an oil change was for my IS250 and the service tech says $39.95, but when I told him I had a 2010, he said that the 2010 Lexus' come with synthetic oil from the factory and they have to put synthetic in for $69.95. So was this guy pulling the BS move on me?

better off getting synthetic anyways. 1 change a year instead of 2, save 10 bucks and a trip to the dealer.

$69 for synthetic is def a good deal. Call your local Lexus dealership ask. At my Lexus dealership it cost around 130 for full synthetic.

Someone told me the same thing when I went to get my 09 oil changed. Avg price was around 80-100. I went to a friends mechanic and just got a regular one for 30bucks =]

$69.95 is probably a blended oil. The first change should be FREE!
