I bought my 05 LS430 about a month ago with 29.5K miles on it & it has been a locally owned car. It was time for the 30K service, so I took it to the local Lexus dealer. They gave me a print out of all the services they preformed for the first owner. The services were every 5k miles along with repairs to the rear window screen & some repair to the head liner. This 30K service cost me $520.00. Parts like filters, oils, antifreeze etc was $190.00 & $330.00 labor. I asked what kind of oil they use? To my surprise,they use "Union 76" Synthetic blend 5/30 weight. I guess my question would be, did most of you switch to a full synthetic oil? Would you recommened doing that?

I swtch to synthetic on all my cars that I've had...

Not sure why Lex dealer uses Union 76 Synthetic, maybe it's just the area that you are in...

I am looking at some off lease 04 LS430's that are just under 30kmiles on them and was wondering what is done at that 30k service.I have only one dealer in my state and I am pretty sure they charge quite a bit more than 520 (I thought it was over 700),I know they hit me for 175 just for oil change tire rotation (only fell for that once now do it at local shop)on my wifes RX330.What all do they do at 30K?hopefully something a Toyota or independ can do.
thanks
