Lexus wants some $300+ for a new MAF sensor for my 2008 IS250. Has anyone used a non-lexus sensor? Namely this one from Denso?

Denso is the OEM manufacturer for this part. It is $85 at Rockauto.

You should be able to install this yourself in 2 minutes.

 

Is the one that I linked to the proper one though?

 

Yes it is the proper one for a 2008 IS250.

Here are Alternate/OEM Part Number(s): 222040H010, 2220431020

Denso manufactures the MAF for Toyota/Lexus. The one Lexus wants $300 for is exactly the same one on Amazon and Rockauto.

 

Get brand new from auto part $100. Do not get rebuild.

 

Thank you for the information. Ordered my replacement sensor last night.

The one on amazon is also brand new, and is $85.
