Yeah, lexus says 10k but that doesnt explain why my maintenance reminder range up on me.. maybe i have to do my 1ST oil change on the 5k mark, then for then on do 10k intervals on the oil changes?

Just finished having my first service done at 5500 miles. Since the manual says service every 5k miles and the first 2 services are complementary I plan to follow the manual. The scheduled maintenance light comes on a few hundred miles before the indicate mileage just to give you a heads up.

They want to see you every 5k miles just changed the oil change interval to 10k miles no change in oil or engine just a marketing change to lower the cost of ownership.

The 5K is more of an inspection than service. First two visits are free.
At 10K they change the oil and every 10K afterwards.
I actually wait on my 5K as it takes them about a hlaf hours to complete and it is not worth getting the provided rental.
I will be getting them to install the concealed Passport radar with laser evasion at the 5k so I will be getting a rental.

I think it is the 30K maint that is major. Not sure as I have seldom kept my LX till 30k but you better be sitting down when they tell you what that cost, but they actually do something and change out all the fluids like brake system, tranny, differential, etc.

They changed it to 10k oil/filter beginning in 2013. Talked to a Lexus Master tech about this since I have a 2011. Like I said before its all about marketing. Nothing different between 2011 LX and 2013 LX. Same oil everything the same. He said if it was his LX he would do it at 5k versus 10k, but he said he is personally **** about oil and filter changes.

My '03 470 was given to a family member with 190k on the clock when I bought the 570. I changed the oil every 7500 miles and never had a problem with the vehicle other than regular maintenance. I live 2 hrs from the nearest Lexus dealer so I had my local mechanic do all the service work.
After the first two services I'll do the same thing with the 570 as I plan to drive it for 10-12 years like I did the 470.

I'm really **** about services I get every single major and minor service irrespective of it being worth it or not. I just follow the manual. Every 30k theres a major interval service.

Wait so I asked the same question to my Master Tech, though this is my first personal LX I'm no stranger to LX's. My mother and father have had 4 LX's. They had a '10 before they switched to a '14. He said its a 10k interval for oil/filter change due to Lexus making the move to synthetic oil. IDK there never ever seems to be a consensus between Lexus techs...
