Default 1st and only 'free" service call, could use some suggestions

My '03 SC turns 35k and is due for a minor service. Since this is my first service, it's free. I did have some tweaks done prior to delivery, DRLs disabled and door unlock automatically when put in park. Since this is a very experienced group I wonder if there are any suggestions since this is my only shot without being charged.
Thanks for any help.

The only way I am aware of is through the C-BEST option:

ILLUMINATE ENTR - DRL FUNCTION --> OFF

The dealership wouldn't do it for all sorts of reasons:
Against the law. (MA has no DRL requirements)
Lexus policy(no such policy)

The only way I could get them to do it was to refuse delivery unless they complied.
My dealer's service manager insisted it couldn't be done till I showed him a copy of all the C-Best adjustments.
After successfully disabling them the Service Manager thanked me, since he learned something new that day!
Doesn't exactly fill me with confidence about the Service Deprartment's depth of knowledge about these cars

Good luck

man i could be wrong but this is your first oil change? in 35k miles? or you have been doing it elsewhere? i thought lexus only covers the 5k service, which includes oil change, tire rotation, and free cbest settings? for cbest, i just stay with factory, i have adjusted myself to it

and mark, it can only be done at dealerships (cbest settings)

My mistake, I bought the car with 30k, CPO'd from this dealer. 1st oil change free similiar to a new car.
