Default Idle Shaking?

Hey everyone, I figured it would be best to ask others other than try to explain this since I probably wouldn't be able to duplicate this issue. About 5-10% of the time I come to a full stop my car shakes a little bit and sometimes feels like a slight stutter. I know I need a oil change and not sure if thats why or its something else.. I'd really appreciate anyone who knows what it maybe, Thanks !

It's a 250, right?

Carbon buildup. Pretty common. Do a search, there's a massive thread on it- and there's a TSIB from Lexus, free under powertrain warranty.

This service also includes oil change and also new plugs.

It does include an oil change. It does not include new spark plugs. But if you supply the spark plugs, most dealerships will install them while they are in there for no charge.

I highly recommend you do this if you're anywhere near 60k or 120k. Buy the plugs from Sewell for $13 each and provide them to the dealership, which should only charge you a half hour's labor at most to install them since all the prework for the plug install overlaps with the carbon buildup TSIB.
