I admit my opinion is coloured by the fact that I can't buy it from local parts stores anymore as its manufacture is discontinued, only dealers stock them in my country.
I'm not suggesting aftermarket plugs nor the current discounted Denso plugs aren't suitable and my reasoning is in a previous post.
This makes no sense, I’m sorry. You can choose to buy them from the dealer, that’s your prerogative. But, you shouldn’t make statements like the one above without the facts.

https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/de...park+plug,7212

Please click on this link and read the info. And, look at the photo (#2) and you’ll see it even says FK20HBR11 on the plug’s body.

And further confirmation from Denso’s website:

https://www.densoproducts.com/denso-...ife-spark-plug

These are $12.59 each at RockAuto and about $14 on Amazon.

The “Lexus” plugs are listed for $18.27 each on their site:

https://parts.lexus.com/p/Lexus__/Sp...091901249.html

Now, again, if you want to spend the extra 36 or so bucks, by all means. But, most of us would rather get the exact same thing and pay less for it. If a Lexus invoice gets your blood pumping, amen to you brother!

Now, reading back this reply sounds a little condescending, but it’s not meant to. Trying to be funny and hopefully we agree after this that buying from the OE supplier is actually smart business for anyone.

As stated above, the dealer is the only place I can buy the OEM spark plug in my country (I actually bought it from Toyota) You can fire links at me all day but had you bothered to read what I wrote you wouldn't have started.

Buy plugs from Amazon at your own risk! There is a huge range of genuine and counterfeit plugs to choose from!

Depends on the dealer.

I always shop at Bell Lexus and get free shipping with the code.

Today the plugs are $13.52 each.

Same Plug

I didn’t realize you were from another country. My apologies.

For the majority of us stateside, I stand by my statement.
