Right around 59k so 60k service is coming up soon... People that have done the full 60k service at a dealer what were you charged if you don't mind me asking? Just want to know around how much it would cost.

Good ?? I would assume that Lexus was looking for little improvements on their cars to prolong there longevity!

Im going in for service tomorrow and since I am at about 56k and change maybe I will just do the 60k service early. I am still wondering why it say that the 07s dont need spark plugs but the 08 and 09 do. I am thinking I will have them replace them any way. It cant hurt and since its the BIG 60K service might as well

A Lexus master tech addressed it in this thread.

Note the models that use GR or UR engines included in the 60K mile interval all use direct injection fuel systems alone or in combination with port injection. The byproduct of direct injection with US fuels is carbon buildup. This fouls the plugs much more quickly and shortens their life, even with iridium plugs.

Vehicles with 120K mile intervals use iridium plugs with port injection only. No problem with these plugs lasting 120K.

As to why the 07 LS says 120K while 08+ are 60K is beyond me. It's the exact same engine. I'd have to guess sometime during 07 production the "required under federal emissions warranty" came into play...
