Yea, itd be cheaper to just buy the oil yourself and filter and let them do it. I think thats the only service you really need for toyota cars aside from filters and brake pads.

^^most marketing is designed to be interesting. Amsoil works very hard at their marketing. Their oil is undoubtedly good, but so are a number of others.

On average its around $200 every 5k miles at the dealer. My last trip however I went to a different dealer who offered $75 off your first service and 20% off each service afterwards up to a value of $1000. They sent me this offer through the mail in the form of like a card that you present each time. But yeah unless you get a card like that you got to be ready to shell out at least $200 every 5k miles.

Why would anyone even entertain not getting a synthetic oil change done? Regardless of what my mechanic says, the engine speaks to you on performance. Get a synthetic oil change every 3k miles for any lexus you own. AND ALWAYS PREMIUM FUEL!

2 - 5 Qt jugs of regular Mobil 5w30 = $ 27
1 - Lexus IS-F Oil Filter #04152-51010 = $ 8
1 - Lexus Drain Plug Gasket = $ .90
Labor = Priceless
Total Cost for ME every 5K Miles is approx. $36
