i meant that the oil would be much darker at your mileage than normal.

how is the cap not part of the radiator? I don't even...
Also what caused the gasket to fail the first time? and was all parts replaced with OEM or equivalent?

ask them if there are any service bulletins on the cooling system of your specific car, if he did not repair all items that should have been replaced after a head gasket blows as per lexus says... then you may have leverage to use against your mechanic... I don't know what you can do legally in your situation so take anything i say with a grain of salt...
also i have no idea what kind of paperwork you signed at your mechanic's shop... some shops and even big chains have loopholes in their paperwork that fucks the customer so all i can say is best of luck
EDIT: also excuse my terrible grammar, I'm a math major and a gear head trying to learn my 3rd language.... so yeah grammar naturally gets a little messed up...
