dear: colleagues

my 2008 gs450h is about 50k miles

but please inform if 60k service is must???

it cost almost around 1 grand to get it done...

will appreciate your comment

 

If you want to keep your even more expensive car in tip top shape, I TOTALLY suggest that you get it. You are doing very important fluid changes on it.

Brake fluids, differential fluids, steering, etc...

You can probably save money on the spark plugs they probably are offering - those are iridium and can be changed at 90k.

Well, good luck in your decision - I recommend that you get most of it done. Tell me what they are quoting you.

 

60k is a pretty big service, i would do it

welcome to clublexus

 

I did mine because if anything goes wrong with the car, there is no argument that maintenances weren't done. My car is a Lexus CPO so I tend to follow it because of the warranty.

 

I just hit 60k on my 06 gs300 last week... Thank god my boi is goin to do the 60k mile service for me cuz Lexus of manhattan was tryna charge me 1500 to do it!!! Smdh

 

It is crazy expensive. The 2010 Camry XLE was like less than 1/2 that price.

If you look at the list, they REALLY don't do much replacement. Spark Plugs isn't part of the list I don't think. I end up having those replace separatly.

 

False, Spark Plugs are recommended at 60k on this model. I did mine yesterday and was pleased I did so after looking at them.

Perhaps try to find a reputable Lexus/Japanese automotive place nearby instead that is knowledgeable in your model.

 

Only major service in 60k is , spark plugs and brake fluid. Oil change is every 5k and filters ( Air and Cabin) can be replaced every 10-15k. Just do the filters you're self, have the dealer do the brake fluid. Have an in depended mechanic do the plugs and the oil. By all that stuff on sewellparts.com well maybe expect the brake fluid. My 60k maintance cost me, um less then $300. The 60k service kit on sewells is $123. Motive brake bleeder was around $60 bucks. My oil was around $35, did everything myself expect the oil change and the plugs. To replace each plug it was $10 a piece and oil change was like $20 with my supplies. Read through this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...many-pics.html

 

I just had this service done last week (orig price $500), but saved $100 since I didn't need tire rotation (stag.), cabin filter (changed myself in about 45 seconds), and engine/air filter (K&N typhoon washable filter), wiper blade inserts (just changed them last oil change).

I looked through their entire service manual (30k, 60k, 90k, 120k) and the spark plugs are "NOT" part of any service until I think the 90k or 120k. Aside from that there isn't really a whole lot that is done, BUT the service that is done is important (fluid changes), that I can't/won't do.

 

I havent done it yet. All I did was oil change. Is that gonna be bad for my car? if I do it at 70k miles

 

That exactly the same with a few Lexus in my area. Spark Plugs wasn't part of the 60k Service. When asked, they said do it at 90k.

At 60k, instead of paying for service, I only paid them to change Spark Plug. Damn thing is expensive! It was like over $400 to change spark plugs?! Had them change oil.

I did the cabin filter and air filter myself using K&N. Top all the fluids myself.

Wonder if I should've change the brake fluid?

 

How did you get the motive brake bleeder to work on the GS300 models? Their site says it works on all lexus vehicles except GS

 

i hope the dealership has these records on account because i bought my car at 78 K miles and Im wondering if the last owner took care of this!!!
