I searched for a post on engine oil but to no avail? I was sure that this subject  would have come up... but anyhow I was wondering if Lexus recommend a specific brand of oil? Searched tinternet but it was a bit inconclusive, I usually put Mobile one in my Mercedes Sprinter but haven't done a change on this car yet, supposed to be every 10k and I realised that it has done 15k since the last change doh' also needs diff oil and transfer box oil and according to the maintenance schedule, trans fluid is inspect or replace.

Happy new year youall

As long as you stick to the recommended viscosity I don't think it matters as long as it's a good, well-known brand and not Slimy Sid's Snake Oil.

However, if you're going to do the transmission fluid then definitely stick to Toyota Type-IV.

Many dealers use Shell or Castrol oils but that is a franchise thing rather than a recommendation from Lexus GB.

Mobil is a good brand, can't go wrong there. Many of Toyota's badged oils are made by them, although to Toyota's spec and not standard - e.g. Toyota 0W-20 is different (better) compared to Mobil 1 0W-20.

I found a Japanese car specialist that was recommended by a taxi driver I know, apparently he knows all about Toyota and Lexus cars so I'm going to book it in with him, I could do it myself but then I'll have difficulty proving that it was actually serviced at least this way I get an invoice to go with the other car stuff, he said he uses Lexus parts so I expect it'll be Toyota oil and filter.
