2008 RX350, 2017 ES350, 2024 NX350h in my household. I take all my cars to a local mechanic whom I have used for the last 5 years, with the exact pre- measured amount of oil and a Toyota OEM oil filter. He pours in exactly what I give him, then I hand him $40 cash for each car. 😊. I don’t go to the dealer unless the oil change is free or warranty work. I never go along with the 10k miles oil change interval. For me every 6 months or 5k miles whichever comes first.
Bought a brand new 25 Camry after driving about 200 miles checked the oil level out of curiosity and it was high.I decided to change the oil couple of weeks after and I confirmed that there was one extra quart in it! I agree with everything you said about the service industry, I learned my lesson years ago and try my hardest to fix/ maintain everything myself but now they took it to a different level a brand new car overfilled with engine oil from the factory! give me a break
Probably has to do with the fact that it was a Toyota Dealer. They are certainly not used to '25 Lexuses. They probably thought it had a V8 or just put the same amount they put for a Truck/SUV. Toyota Dealers should be able to manage every Lexus.

I do most service by myself since this day dealers not only provide good services, but also scam you.
I know it's a pain in the ass sometimes but I do my own. Get low profile ramps (widow maker) makes it simple enough.
