I believe Lexus uses standard oil for its 5,000 mile oil changes on GS 350
cars. Is there a problem with using synthetic oil instead (at say Jiffy
lube or other non-Lexus garage) and extending the oil change period to 7,500
miles? Would that mess up the warranty?

Mobil 1 Synthetic oil for the GS350 is all API SM rated so that's not
an issue. An engine oil related issue caused by using a 7500 change
interval with Mobil 1 is HIGHLY unlikely. My Toyota dealer sells Mobil
1 and they suggest a 7500 oil change interval. But if want zero risk,
change it every 5000. |

I often wonder why US supplied cars have a much lower oil change interval,
as indicated by manufacturer, than those supplied in Europe.
That includes vehicles supplied with 3 year 90,000 warranty & those supplied
with unlimited milage in the 3 year period.
My last Lexus had a 9,000 miles interval, later models 10,000 / 20,000?
So far I have seen no explanation

Aren't they using synthetic oil in Europe?
Oil analysis posted at bobistheoilguy.com doesn't bode well for that
20,000 mile oil change interval. |
