Tune Up '05 RX330
Hi All, I had a Tune Up done on my 2005 RX330 the other day!
The RX was running Great, but it had 141k miles on it, and I'm the 2nd owner, and I didn't know When or If the plugs had been Replaced or Not!
An Experienced Auto Tech did the work. He wasn't a Toyota or Lexus or an Import Tech, just a Very Good Tech!
He Replaced all 6 plugs with NGK Iridium plugs, and the 3 hard to reach coils on the backside as well with Denso OE Coils.
He also Replaced the PCV valve, the Air filter and Cabin Air Filter and cleaned the Throttle Body.
He did this in 3hrs and She Runs like New!
Like I said, I wasn't sure if I needed it Done, but I didn't want to wait until I had a Problem.
PS- The Tech suggested I Keep the old coils he replaced, in case one of the "Easy to get to" front coils went Bad, I'd have a ready temporary replacement, a Good Suggestion!

I've tried searching using the VIN# and found the work done by Lexus/Toyota dealers, but Not any
Independent shops!
