spark plugs help is350
Should I change my plugs at 40000 miles. I had the car for 6 years, brought it new. Going to take the car for the vtt recall. I have no luck with the dealers, Modesto and Fresno are charging me $160 just for the plugs. should I wait or let them change it. any tips would be appreciate.

160 is a lot for plugs change. Its not hard at all.
If you had the car for 6 years and never changed the plugs, I would do it regardless of the mileage. Im the type of person that doesn't trust anything that sits in a car for more than a year or 2 so if you can do it, I suggest you do it

I agree on the DIY; on the IS350 it is REALLY easy! The money you save from not having the dealership doing it, you can purchase the tools needed to do the replacement yourself and keep the tools for a lifetime.
I agree the plugs can be purchased from Sewell Lexus or on ebay for a better price than any other dealership.

40,000 is too low, i would not change them. i did mine at 62,000 but i truly believe the plugs are good for 100,000 miles. my next change will be at 162,000.
