I change mine every 7-8k miles and use the best filter available. Just turned 336k miles on my 2001 Toyota

Oil changes full syn every 10k miles with OEM filters.
$48.11 is what I paid to buy the oil and filter at the dealership and do the labor myself. That's a genuine Toyota filter as well as a 6 quart case of Toyota 0W16.
Not a Lexus but 2023 Camry and had my battery die twice and both times had Toyota test it and charge it.
It was from lack of use, and short drives. The battery was also on the low amp of cca ratings. I replaced it with a much stronger CCA rating battery and haven't had any issues,
Perhaps using a lower weight, full synthetic engine oil would build pressure faster and reduce the noise.
I drive an older car, 1998 toyota supra, low to the ground so my eyes are just about even with most of the SUVs running around my area. This is on me, I chose to drive this car. However, the change in the past 10 years has taken it from mildly annoying to downright blinding.
This was the most frustrating repair I've ever done. I've done plenty of timing belt/chain jobs before but this one sucked.
You can't tell if the timing marks are lined up, the belt doesn't have marks on it and no where on line tells you how many belt teeth there should be from one mark to the others to check your work. I buttoned it up and was off a tooth on the driver's side, I could have set the truck on fire. It worked fine after I did the job a second time.
Ran it to 340,000 miles, it blew a head gasket.
I think the third gen is pretty worthless if it has a third gen motor given the head gasket issue.
The solution for me was buying a Toyota. Now, if you own a Toyota, you'll know that they all seem to come with the most comically high pitched Noddy sounding toot. I used it once and then out of embarrassment more than anything, never used it for three years.
