Keep in mind that after the oil change your vehicle will need other mileage maintenance items. This is where AVP Automotive is your friend. Aaron built AVP on a generous price break from what the Lexus dealerships offer. You can expect to pay about half the labor of a dealership for any repair performed at AVP.
LEXUS MOTOR OIL BASICS
Newer Lexus models typically require Toyota Genuine Motor Oil SAE 0W-20. Things to know about this synthetic motor oil:
Prices can range from $10-$15 per quart if you purchase it yourself, with 5-8 quarts required for a full oil change depending on the size of your engine. Synthetic motor oil is designed to improve fuel economy, to start the engine more easily in cold weather, and to be longer-lasting.
Older Lexus models typically use conventional Toyota Genuine Motor Oil 5W-30. The cost is lower, but may not last as long.
When you change your oil, the oil filter will need to be changed as well. If you wonder why read our notes on oil changes. Oil filters can cost anywhere between $5 and $30, depending on whether they are aftermarket parts or genuine OEM parts.

So if you want to change your Lexus oil yourself, the total cost of the oil filter and the oil could range between $55 and $150. And then there is the need to dispose of the old oil, which is an environmental concern.
