I think it should be done every 5,000-6,000 miles or 6 months, whatever comes first. I could'nt get the semi - I would have been as happy with that. Oil Life algorithms are based on 6. Using low-quality spark plugs can quickly fail.
This was Toyota branded and under £10. I find it strange that there is still 1. Using an oil filter wrench unscrew the oil filter. The parts guy at Toyota asked me for the car registration and then sold the oil - a litre of fully synthetic which he assured me was what was recommended.

Then install a new gasket or apply a bead of seal packing Three Bond 1281 or equivalent. You had to have it from Lexus. The temperature chart would go to the 10W-40 in any case.
