Q: i have a Lexus ls460 2007 w 80,000 miles. should i replace the spark plugs
When should I consider changing the spark plugs.
My car has 80000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
The OEM spark plugs are claimed (by Lexus, in the maintenance schedule) to be good for 120,000 miles. However, there are many other maintenance items on this vehicle that have much shorter maintenance intervals such as replacement of the brake and differential fluids.
