I was using a Nulon 5-30w (changing oil every 12 months) and the same was happening to me, now I have switched to Toyota 5-30W (mineral i think) every 6 months and it looks promising after 3k. Also I noticed you used 6l, you need around 6.3l of oil to fill her up (inc Filter) so I suspect you may have under filled a little initially.

just remember that the paint on the lexus is very soft. if there are no scratches on the car the dent removal guys can do with easy assuming that he can get a little access behind the panel. (thats my 2 cents) I hit a garage wall on the same spot and had to get it repainted.....regret it to this day (damn you capital SMART)

I am not an expert and just a home diy guy but I have done some internet research and most suggest that glazing is the probable cause. The downside none agree on a solution, some suggest regrinding the rotors and replacing with new pads others light sanding the pads and/or both. Also some pads could have a little more metal in their pads which are more prone to grinding/squeaking .

sorry to resurrect a dead thread, I had a similar experience of uneven/almost shuddering feel after replacing the rotors and pads. It was weird because there was none of that when braking harder only when normal pressure is applied. I took apart the whole rotors and pads and found nothing wrong but discovered that the pins were not sliding very smoothly, one side was almost ceased completely. I took them out cleaned and applied brake pin grease and what a difference it made. The braking is progressive and smooth like it was when I first bought the car. I have changed brakes/rotors on all my cars for the past 15 years but none needed pin lubrication, so I learned a lesson here and maybe someone can learn from my mistakes and lubricate pin every time.
