50,000 Service Items

[Isilduir]

Servicing my car for the first time and had a quote from a local independant service centre (not Lexus) for a service which includes nrmal Oil andoil filter change.

Having reads some posts here I have ordered myself some spark plugs and air/pollen filters from the Tinterweb with a view to changing the air ilters myself and getting the garage to swap the plugs for me.

I suspect that these guys don't often see a Lexus so what else should I be asking them to do at a 50k service.

As you might guess I am trying to keep costs to a minimum. :winky:

Appreciate your feedback.

Cheers........

I'm assuming that you don't have the service schedule booklet that would have originally come with your car. Here are the pages from my 1999 Lexus IS200 "Warranty & Care" booklet. The Full service is every 20,000 miles or every 2 years. The Intermediate service is ever 10,000 miles or 1 year.

Also try this thread for some scans of a magazine article about servicing an IS200, in case you fancy trying any of the other bits.

There's also the very detailed online workshop manual here.
