Had my car for 1,500 miles change the oil at 1200 Mi looking for any excess metal shavings due to the problems with the Tacoma and the ls600 didn't see any small minor problems door rattling on the driver side very annoying had the text fix it they change the Latch by 5 mm and the noise is gone small little things like Hood wind noise with my rack took the rack off a wind noise is gone rides very well smooth transmission very responsive engine overall like it keep looking for problems as everybody does but we're having fun so far bye-bye
Changed oil at 1200 miles

Holy punctuation Batman! Assuming you are using a voice to text app.
Glad you are enjoying your GX.
Good point not sure it’s true but good pointDealer said that the oil from the factory is specially formulated for break in period and not to change it early…
I know some high end brands do this for high performance cars.Dealer said that the oil from the factory is specially formulated for break in period and not to change it early…
Never heard of Toyota/lexus doing it though…
I would ask them for documentation on that. Like @killy said, I've never heard of that in Lexus/Toyota. At least not in the past 30 years.Dealer said that the oil from the factory is specially formulated for break in period and not to change it early…
Part of the reason I'm gonna be buying 8 quarts of Toyota/Lexus oil and an oil filter and change the oil myself.
I changed my oil just prior to the 1000 mile mark, no need to keep assembly lube and initial break-in materials in the oil for 5-10K miles . Nothing of concern in the oil but I may send it off to Blackstone for their analysis.

. Change it at 1k or thereabouts. All modern vehicles use low tension rings. Break in oil is a thing of the past……and break-in period is 600 miles, so all good.
Great info! Thanks for sharing this.
Any concern with that moly #?
It’s been a minute since engineering school but moly steel is some of the highest grade hard shit you can get.
The kind that say a main bearing is made of?
Moly is often used as a lubricant between metal-to-metal surfaces and TGMO has a high molybdenum content.
Edited to add from Google:
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2): Also known as Moly, this solid lubricant can withstand high temperatures and pressures. It works with zinc (ZDPP) to improve lubrication. When added to oil, Moly coats metal parts, reducing friction from metal-on-metal contact to Moly-on-Moly contact.
