Ok, thats more like it, lol.... Denso/NGK Iridiums
Denso part number IK16
NGK part number BKR5EIX-11
Probably gonna run you around $60 from your local part store. They are worth it, they are tried and proven to work in your daily driver all the way up to 1000hp+ Supras. There is a reason they are the most popular plug on high hp cars, they work and are PROVEN to work and last.
Some members on this board think Torquemasters are better, there is no conclusive evidence of that and I for one would much rather go with a worldwide MAJOR manufacturer of parts that have been proven time and time again to work then be the guinea pig and try to make 1 extra hp for twice as much money with "snake oil".

I would go with any quality brand, Mobil 1 is always a good bet and can be found at Walmart or Sams club/Costco for a good price.
Oil Filter:
Oem toyota
Tranny Oil:
Oem toyota Type 4
AntiFreeze:
This is important, ONLY use OEM Toyota Red antifreeze. It has additives in it for the design of the water pump/radiator etc..used on the Toyota/Lexus cars.
Air Filter:
If your not looking for more power then just use a Oem drop in filter or a Fram replacement, if you want a little power try a K&N drop in (about $75), if you want alot more power try a SRT full replacement system (about $500 shipped)
It would also be a good idea to change your cabin airfilter as well. It's very easy to get to and just costs a few dollars. Your a/c air will blow better and smell nice and clean.

Also since im heading back for college im kind of low on money for books and furniture, so i was wondering since my car is @98K should i change my timing belt/waterpump? Are there any signs telling me when i should change it? Because if its necessary i rather get this fix than buy text books!

It would be a good time to do your timing belt and water pump but that is not a cheap service.

Just get the oil filter, tranny fluid and coolant from Toyota. (If they are a good dealership they will be able to cross reference the oil filter for you) the coolant and tranny fluid is the same thing lexus uses just not marked up as much.
It would be a good time to do your timing belt and water pump but that is not a cheap service.

One more thing, your cabin air filter I mentioned before, thats supposed to be changed every 10k miles. It can have a significant effect on your air conditioning system. Don't neglect that while your at it, you can get those filters on ebay for about $15. Here is a link to one:

Yea, unfortunately you are going to have to buy the tranny fluid and anti-freeze at the dealer. But look at it this way, you only do the anti-freeze once every 100k miles. The tranny fluid is on a large interval as well. It's really not that expensive to use the proper Toyota stuff when you think about how infrequent it really is you have to do it.
