Acceleration Problems after Dealer Oil Change
2008 LS460
Everytime time that I have had the dealer complete a service and oil change my car has bad acceleration problems for a week or two afterwards. The dealer has said that the cars computer shows no problems and of course it didn't act up when they test drove it. This week I had the 40,000 service done (oil change and tire rotation) and the acceleration hesitation is so bad that it is dangerous to drive.
Has anyone had similar problems or have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Welcome to CL.
For your particular model, we do have a 460 section:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...nd-ls600h-178/
There may be a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) or another issue that has come up outside ofthe oil change. A member in the 460 section might have some answers for you.

I don't think engine oil has anything to do with hesitation and transmission gear shifting issues. That would be the tranny or the computer (software) that manages it.
I think if there was anything wrong with the oil, you'd be having issues with the engine temperature, blue or black smoke from the exhaust pipes, and/or engine noise.
I noticed after the VSR fix was performed and after the two battery changes I've done, the car became very noticeably responsive for awhile then responsiveness started to vary from time to time depending on its mood I guess.

I agree with what the guys said not an oil change issue. However you need to have the dealer flash the tranny's computer with the latest update, I had this issue and after the update the car shifts smoother & more aggressive! I believe once you have the update taken care of your issue will be resolved.
