Everything else is 0w20.

Doesn't 0w20 only come in synthetic/synthetic blend as well? If that's the standard in the 250/350/F then i guess they are running synthetic/synthetic blend anyways.

Yes,the 0w20 only comes in synthetic and a blend.
The IS350 with that 5K change interval is conventional oil.My Lexus service advisor says the dealer use Mobil 5w30.
I'll be going to a 5w30 or maybe a 0w30 full synthetic soon.

I remember reading a post somewhere here that said you can clean the Blitz filters once and reuse them, but they don't last a full 30k the second time around.. Same person i believe said they are fine for 45-50k with the cleaning at 30k. But they aren't lifetime like K&N

The cabin air filter i wouldn't bother cleaning, just buy a Wix Charcoal Filter and replace every so often
