Dropped the FF on the new GS350 with a 2GR-FKS 3.5L V-6 at my house early, will post filter pics tomorrow but it was LOADED with metal. UOA looks much better than the filter did. Lexus recommends first service at 10,000, I've always dropped the oil early on new engines, for better or worse (likely not worse) I did it on this new car as well.
First service at ~1,000 miles, next service will be at 3,000 miles and 5,000 miles. Will run the 5k service out to 10K and bring the car in for it's free service.
High Moly from assembly lube, but Mg and Boron also quite stout.
Fram TG9972 replaced the OE filter, I will leave it in place for the next change and exchange it at the 5,000 change.
Enjoy.
