I have a 2010 GS350 AWD with almost 200k miles and need to replace the spark plugs.
Lots of people say to be careful of those on Amazon as they can be Chinese fake plugs.
Any idea where is best to buy? I was thinking RockAuto but which ones would work best? I would like to use a very good quality spark plug.
Thanks for any help.
I get mine (Toyota/Lexus only) from McGeorge Toyota in Richmond Virginia...via their online web site. Cheaper than my local Lexus dealer, and guaranteed to be genuine. I've also bought the Denso equivalent from Advance Auto, but had serious problems with multiple plugs within two years. Rock Auto sells the Denso equivalent and are a good price but I learned the hard way and will only go genuine Toyota/Lexus from a dealer.
Man, 200k is alot if they are original. 100k is normal replacement per my dealer. Be careful removing the originals...you don't want any threads crossed or stripped. Good luck.

Congrats on 200k!
Autozone and Advance auto are authorized Denso distributors. I know Advance will price match Rockauto. RA is probably ok, but you are dealing with independent distributors who drop ship for them. Anything on this website is as good as a Lexus dealer: https://www.densoautoparts.com/where-to-buy . DO NOT buy from Amazon or Ebay, unless SHIPPED from an authorized vendor. Especially if the price is too good. 100% fake.
Hey y’all, I’m not as active on the 3GS subb these days since but wanted to share what 100k OEM plugs look like.
Some background, I bought my 2007 GS350 back in 2010 with 40k on it and had the dealership changed the plugs around 60k in 2012 or so. Well, today the car has 168k and I did a DIY, took me a little over ONE hour for 6 plugs. I went DIY since I’ve been reading dealerships are charging about 3 hours/over $500 for this. I used simple tools, a ratchet wrench, multiple extensions, 10mm and a magnetic spark plug socket.
