iinkz Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 My is250 needs it's 90k service done. Quoted $1250 by the dealers here in Melbourne. Found out that a major cost of that are the spark plugs which are charged at $70/plug (denso) which i think is absurd. Do you guys know whether there is an NGK plug and the part number that will suit our is250's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E910 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 They retail for $29 each in NZ from the dealer. I can get them cheaper for you, ref >> http://au.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10584 << Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats cheap! So are you planning to supply that to the Lexus dealer for service? Would they do that, allow you to bring your own parts? Coz damn I would have saved heaps!

Well provided you told them you was supplying your own parts and they were the correct parts, then i can't see why not. I got quoted $1265 for new pads, and rotor machine on my ISF.. I got better pads then stock for $330 , and the rotor machine for free. from a mate who owns a brake shop.! Pays to shop around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plugs for my ISF from the states, cost me $130 ish to my door from Lexus of Miami., Lexus service wanted $75 a plug , then $110 a hour to fit them , I Fitted them in around a hour and saved the money for more Mods.

st87 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I got mine from eBay. They are genuine denso plugs which only set me back for around $90AUD delivered (see following link): http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/6PC-Genuine-DENSO-Spark-Plug-Set-Iridium-Long-Life-OEM-for-GS350-IS250-IS350-/160794989281?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item257020d2e1&_uhb=1 You get the 6 you need and not the higher price tag which you can do without! Edit: That said, has anyone made a DIY for spark plug changes? I've been wanting to try it myself but have been told taking the exhaust manifold off will mean needing to put a new gasket on the damn thing which kinda turned me off...
