its not the oil that should matter, lexus uses castrol syntec 5w30 synthetic blend. an average quart of synthetic oil cost around $10-$15 per quart and the average car takes about 4-6 quarts. so thats anywhere from $40- $75 roughly. they also replace the oil filter which is another $30-$40. mainly when you pay for service you're paying for the labor. it's not that hard to change the oil in a car.

i change my own oil and i would advise you to do the same.

IT IS PARTIALLY TRUE,,,YOU SEE WITH LL THE AUTO AND THE FEDERAL GOVERMENT PUSHING FOR STRICTER ENVIROMENT AND EMISSION REGULATIONS THE HIGH END CAR COMPANYS LIKE LEXUS(THE EXPENSIVE TOYOTA)--INFINITY(THE EXPENSIVE NISSAN)--ACURA(THE EXPENSIVE HONDA) ECT... THE CARS ARE FILLED FROM THE FACTORY WITH SYNTHETIC OIL,,,U SEE SYNTHETIC OIL IS MAN-MADE IT CONTAINS NO PETROLEUM OR OTHER INGREDIENTS FROM NATURAL SOURCES (EXAMPLE CRUDE OIL) THERE FORE IT IS CONCIDERED ENVIROMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND IT LAST ABOUT TWICE AS LONG AS CONVENTIONAL OIL(EXAMPLE REGULAR OIL 3000 TO 3500 MILES--YNTHETIC IS GOOD FOR 5000 TO 8000 MILES DEPENDING ON BRAND)THEREFORE CAR COMPANYS RECCOMEND IT BUT U DONOT HAVE TO USE IT CONVENTIONAL OIL WILL WORK JUST FINE ....NOW ON THE OTHER HAND 179 DOLLARS I KINDA HIGH(DEPENDING ON WHAT STATE U LIVE IN) A TOP BRAND OF SYNTHETIC OIL(EX.VALVOLINE SYN-POWER) WHERE I LIVE IS AT THE MOST $7.00 A QUART THAT CAR DOSE NOT HOLD BUT 6 TO 7 QUARTS AT THE MOST..AND THE FILTER IS NO MORE THAN $20.00 FOR THAT CAR SO YEAH THAT IS HIGH...

Sounds way high Probably uses 4 to 5Q at $10.00 a qt. oil filter same as toyota not more than $10. so you're way overpaying. You could buy your own oil & filter at walmart and get changed at a fast oil change place cheaper. I drive a Vette holds 7qts syn. mobil1 and oil filter also take to dealer and never costs over $80.00, plus they check everything else too. Had my own shop, now retired and 70yr.old. But sounds like you're being screwed over, after all it's just an expensive Toyota. Next time price at Toyota dealer and see what they charge if you don't wish to run around or do yourself.
