Every time I tried to use discount coupon for oil change I have been told that oil filter for IS350 is special order and therefore there is no discount and I even have to pay extra. This happened to me last time in AutoNation in BayArea.
So I usually end up going to some expensive place like JiffyLube (~ $35).
Do you find more reasonable prices anywhere?
What is the Toyota part number for the oil filter? Check with you local Lexus or Toyota dealer, stock up on the filters, and take them to the oil change place when it is time to change the oil.
By way of curiosity, how much do the oil filters cost for the I class? I suspect their cost is closer to $50 than to $10, so it is possible that buying them from Lexas and then taking them out will raise the cost higher than just doing it in the Lexus garage. Of course it costs about $150 to change the oil in my LS430, so ....

According to Wix, looks like the filter is used on various Lexus models, so I don't think your local Toyota will have them.

Since it's a low volume item, your best bet is probably go to your local Lexus dealer. I'm not sure if the local NAPA even stocks the aftermarket $6.12 #57173 filter. rockauto.com stocks them. Box a few of them up in the trunk.
Well, Toyota has to price the Lexus oil changes like luxury cars. So some owners will think they've got a luxury car.
Many of these, such as the ES and the RX, are modified Camrys and shouldn't cost more than $30 across the street at the Toyota dealership. For example, the following 05-09 Toyotas all use the same oil filter:

Along with the entire rest of the world, who also consider a Lexus to be a luxury car.
What do you drive, john?
Obviously the rest of the world has never driven a Lexus, or if they have, they have never driven a real Luxury car.
How would you know?
