5000 Mile Service w/ Video

[UFANS]

This week I went in for my 5000 mile service. Service included an oil change, tire rotation and inspecting all fuilds. I noted that the brakes squeak so they ordered parts to be installed at the next visit.

Did you pay out-of-pocket for the oil change?

Is your dealer offering video recording via gopro/meta glasses or something? I've never seen anyone do this before

 

[TmoEng]

I've seen this at all the local Mazda dealerships. Anecdotally it varies a lot by dealership

 

[DJ’s Sled]

Same here, it has varied depending on dealer.

Our Dealership (Lexus of Seattle) always provides a video of the service. Was under the impression that all Lexus dealers do this.

Yep. Dealer sent me the video and asked me to call with any questions.

Y

isnt the 5k free with lexus?

es, but I don't think it includes an oil change.

My oil change was free. They made it sound like the first oil change is free, so maybe I don't get a free one at 10K now.

Your dealer screwed up, good for you! Take it as a win and still get your 10k oil change.

For the complimentary 5,000-mile Lexus service, you receive a thorough multi-point inspection, tire rotation and pressure check, fluid level checks (coolant, brake, washer), and a brake system visual inspection, all focused on early issue detection and ensuring optimal performance before the 10,000-mile oil change interval.
What's Included:

• Tire Rotation & Pressure: Rotating tires for even wear and adjusting pressure for safety.
• Fluid Check: Inspecting and topping off essential fluids like coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid.
• Brake System Inspection: A visual check of brake pads, lines, and rotors.
• Multi-Point Inspection: Checking various components for early signs of wear or trouble, including suspension parts.
• Maintenance Reminder Reset: Resetting the light to reflect the service.
• Floor Mat Check: Ensuring the driver's floor mat is securely installed.

What's NOT Included (at 5k):

• Oil & Filter Change: This is typically done at the 10,000-mile (or 12-month) service, as modern Lexus oils and engines are designed to last longer, per a Lexus technician on Reddit.

I paid myself for 5k oil change at Lexus Dealer.

Correct. I had the choice of paying for a 5k or using the first free. I will now pay for the 10K or DIY. I do like having the dealer changes on the carfax.

I also changed it myself at less than 1k miles DIY. I have oil OCD issues.

These inspection videos are painful. I always feel bad for the tech. Reminds me of this:

Mazda service has been doing it for me for about 4 years now. They also have a service tracking portal so you know what it is done in real time.
I did not get anything like that at my local Lexus dealer.
