Service Due/spark Plugs/london Garage

[Jay6]

Hi Guys,

Well my cars due a service now, as it approached 12 months and done 10,000 miles since its last. My car has now done 87,000 miles. I need some help with the questions below:

1. Searched the forum it seems The Denso iridium Spark plugs IK20 are the best option. Are these universal plugs, as there are a number of items on USA eBay but they don't state there for a Lexus. Please see the link below (may have to copy and paste) the Guy has advertised them for a Porsche, would these be safe to buy for the Lexus?

2. Was thinking of buying semi synthetic engine oil, 10w-40w would this be correct?

3. Cambelt been changed already anything else I should consider due to the mileage? What about the rear axle oil, is this necessary?

3. With the recent tax hike and petrol costs I was thinking of doing the plugs and filters by myself and getting the oil and oil filter done at a garage but to be honest i have never worked on any engine before. Therefore can any of you recommend a good independent garage in the East London/Essex area?

Thanks for your help guys (p.s sorry for the long post)

Hi mate, on your eBay link click "international customer"button below red buttons, then select "Europe" then select "Automobile" then click "Lexus" then click your model and hey presto, think its IK20's your looking for.

Good Luck

Hello, we are further away but being specialists we can offer great advise about the general condition of your vehicle and overall probably no more expensive even with the added petrol expenses.

Please dont hesitate to ask us any questions.
