How often do you change oil & filter? What brand oil & viscosity?

Change the filter with every oil change. I use a fram filter and Valvoline full synthetic 5w-30 every 5K miles.

I was wondering the same thing about oil change interval... Just purchased a used 2005 Flagship... Had a oil gasket leak... I can assume oil was added or changed then.

That's good to know about the filter. I figured a Toyota would most likely cost less, but have the same standards as a Lexus.

Is your oil level low when you change it?
Do you ever need to add any oil between changes?

Located shop paperwork from the previous owner & she used 5W 30 Castrol.
Figured I should probably stay consistent, so I will call the shop & get other details from him.
Hopefully, he will allow me access to any previous invoices.

peace of mind is worth it to me. if i cannot change the oil at my interval, i will not worry going another month until i can. plus the interval is double of the regular stuff so for the price and less oil changes, i like the convenience.
