I'll look for good prices for factory Toyota parts but I usually go straight to Sewell Lexus or Carson Toyota for them.

I usually try to find the best OEM parts prices around. Sometimes with the Prefered member discount it is at the local dealer, or sometimes it is on the internet.

Quality is more important to me than price. You can get OEM replacements at good prices online or at the dealer. My local dealer gives me internet pricing on parts (about 30-40% off retail) only because he is cool and I asked. You get what you pay for.

I bought a FRAM oil filter...that's about as cheap as I can get!

Wasn't cheap though, it's one of those high mileage type of oil filters from FRAM.

Realize that as a Lexus is being built in Toyota City parts are coming in from many different vendors.

Denso, NGK, KYB & others oem the parts you see in a toyota box at the dealer.

Example: replaced a wheel bearing with
BCA / Federal Mogul Part # 510017

Other choices where:


Timken #510017 also $45.00
Seal is part #1943 at 877-328-8672

Toyo 40635
$51.00

All sealed bearings made in Japan.

OEM in this case is a Koyo.

If you see this part & then feel you are only doing your car justice with an oem replacement from a dealer, you are indeed a fanatic.
