Mobil 1 at the auto parts store. Toytoa brand at the Toyota dealer which is made by Mobil 1 and labeled for Toyota. O'Reilly Auto Parts is who stocks the 0W20 here. Yes, the oil is 100% synthetic...

Oil Change
Craig B, By all means do it yourself, if you are able. Buy Mobile 1 synthetic oil at Costco and a premium oil/air (Mobile1) filter a long with an oil pan, filter cap at an auto store.

For over 20 yrs I would take a filter & have walmart do my oil changes on the three MBZ Diesels I owned. I always stood near the car & watch them. A couple of times I would tell that they didn't have enough Qts of oil etc.
I now have a 05 LS430 & it's due for 35K service. I made an appt at my dealer & it would cost $169.00. I called the Toyota dealer & they will do the oil change & rotate the wheels for $30.00 ( I have a coupon) . So I'm taking it to Toyota. I bought a 5 qt bottle of Moble 1 5/30w for $21.00 that I'm taking in for the oil change. With enough of these $130.00 savings on the services, it may help pay for the extended warranty I want to get. I will still use the Lexus dealer for the more extensive service's.

BUSTN - glad to hear you went to the dealer to do it and not Wal*Mart. 
I did do the oil change myself on my Miata recently to learn how to do it, but that must be a cakewalk compared to an LS460 which is a much much more sophisticated car and may even require special tools to get it done.
By the way, I got 5qts Mobil-1 from Wal*Mart
for $20.
