What is everyone’s plan for oil changes on their 600? I know Toyota rec is every 10K but is anyone doing 5k changes? I plan to keep mine for 300k+ so I’ll do whatever is necessary. Just not really sure if 10k is good in the long run.

When doing it first time you might have to remove more bolts and skids then you need just to learn how everything fits and not break things unnecessarily. I removed everything when undercoated with waxoyl just after purchase. For oil change front skid interferes a little bit with two covers on sides of it. I removed just one bolt from side covers (it has to be removed) and needed slight flex to gain about 1/4 inch for clearence to slide and drop front of the front skid when changing oil. Only after that rear of front can be pulled out. If you remove more bolts from side front covers no bending will be necessary. I definitely recommend removing everything at maximum first because lexus uses convinience hooks to hold skids to the frame without bolts. It is very convenient to free up 2 hands without need to hold skid but you need to know how they work.Do the skid fit together the way the 200s did? As in you kind of had to bend them a bit to get the plate off to access the filter housing?
Can you include a photo with the tip of a pen/pencil next to the metal debris for scale?Second oil change at 5k with first at 500. Oil came out dark. No metal shavings (8/23 production) except one small piece. I had some even in 5.7 lc200 so I guess it's okay.

The Slee LX600 plates have an access door for the oil pan drain port, but you still have to remove the single front skid to access the filter:Do the Slee skids give easier access?
