Default Spark Plugs Question

Hello, I have an 06 2gen IS350 and I've passed the 60K mark and I'm looking to replace the plugs with the Denso Iridium. My question is I've seen the Denso plugs being sold on eBay but they are mostly for the 07+ IS with part # like IK16 - 5303. I know the OEM part number for my year is like #90919-01249 so my question is will the DENSO IRIDIUM POWER IK16 - 5303 spark plugs work for my car too? If not, where can I find a good deal to get my hands on them so I can take it to a local shop to have them install for me.

Greatly appericate the help.

Thanks I just check Sewell online and they're $12.95 ea like you said and I've checked the local dealer for the Iridiums and they wanted over $21 ea for them. What a rip off.

You're a Lexus tech but you're not aware that Lexus themselves states in the manual to change plugs at 60k?

Its all on time and miles ,but if ur cars has 60 k in 3-4 year your still good. Know if your car has 5 -6 year over 60k Then you may want to change it .just trying to help and save money because its can cost you about $400-500 @dealer

So you're saying the spark plugs can tell time?

Because otherwise that makes even less sense than your last post did. Why is 60k in 4 years fine to wait, but 60k in 5 years you might want to change em?


The folks who built the car say 60k miles, what do you know that they don't?

Look at the pic this is a 74k lexus is350 & the plugs are still good for a good 30k. I know you read the manuel but I work on the every day. Also if you want to know if its needs changing look at the white part of the plug well have a burnt brown look all around.
