Is this only for 2006 models? My car is burning oil too but I have a 2007. I'm going into the dealer today for the oil consumption test.

$129 isn't a terrible price for plugs, my Lexus dealer wanted $23 a plug and Napa wanted more than that!

How many miles do you guys have on your cars? I am almost at 150k on my 2007 gs350, and I am burning through a lot of oil. I am putting in a quart about every 1000 miles.

Are they taking care of this on cars out of warranty?

Thanks in advance.
