Default Anyone get there ISF's oil changed or tires rotated at the dealership yet?

Since some of you have had your ISF for a while now, I was wondering if anybody has taking there car into the dealer to have the oil changed and the tires rotated? If so what seems to the going rate for each of these items?

I had my oil changed at 1300 miles (paid for it myself $90 including tax). Can't rotate tires because of the staggered sizes.

I had my oil changed at about 1200 miles, replaced w/ synthetic. Tires can't be rotated.

I paid extra for the oil since it's synthetic...

tires CAN BE rotated... left to right, right to left... NO front to rear tho...

the tires are asymmetrical, not directional...

Didn't know that, thanks. Regardless, mine were swapped the other day since I had snow tires/wheels put on the car when I purchased it.

one thing to note abt tire rotation that i realize today is:

the IS-F rims r directional, so if u swap them left and right, the rims becomes backwards, but it's not very noticeable... BUT i have also heard rumors that the IS-F rims are designed to extract heat from the brakes, IF this is true, then it's not that good of an idea to swap the rims left and right, BUT if this rumor is false, then i would rotate the tires to prolong it's life with the exception that the rims will be spinning backwards, but it's very not noticeable...

it is not directional. All 4 wheels (just the width from front to back) are same. If it would be directional, on both sides, its design of spokes would looks the same. Now, left side spokes look to turn different direction from right side..

Each tire and wheel is designed for its position on the vehicle. Therefore make sure they are fitted in the postion indicated on the reverse side of the wheel

Page 312 owners manual

It is designed to pull heat from the brakes. For example. If you put the left front wheel on the right front the spokes will be different

just went throught the pics of owners cars, and now so that they ARE directional! Though, earlier, pictures I saw on someones, wheels were put antidirectional! I don't remember correctly, but I guess it was some blue isf, and if I am not wrong, it was girls...

Sorry for making decision from pics, still waiting for mine isf to come.

P.S. it that case that they are directional, they do pull more air to brakes, to cool the better..

so when is the isf coming? you got a nice collection there

but yeah, the wheels are directional, it's in the spec to make sure people don't mix them up

on the other hand, the rotors are not directional left and right. i checked, indeed left and right are the same, the vaines inside are the same

if u're asking me, I am starting to get pist...

first, lexus planed to get their first IS-F's on like a month ago, but now, they only get info, that it won't be earlier then May end, but no concrete date.

It looks like story is going to repeat, when I was told, that LS600hL will come no earlier then a month, and same day, they called and said that after weekend it will be delivered.

I don't believe, that they don't have info of car arrival date. I believe that every procedures are counted, and dates known...

Hate lexus for this information unknowiness...

that sux man, sorry to hear that i don't know how dealerships work over there, but here in the US, it's more about how good your dealership is in obtaining the right data. as far as i know lexus has all those info. if you order a car, they should know when it arrives

that an IS the problem, that orders still cannot be taken, but they (dealers) were already asked, if they need any demo or client isf's. So they ordered one (black) for dealer demo, and white for client.

Officialy, u cannot still order IS-F here, but it is kind of ordered..
