This is what I got back from
them. "Check the link here: http://ngk.com/results_cross.asp?pid=6858&x=0&y=0* to find more information about this plug.* NGK.com is a distributor of our products in Southern California and should keep this plug in stock.* The heat range is same as stock for this Lexus.*

I heard from a few privately owned mechanic shops that our car's spark plugs don't need to be changed until like 80-90K. The 60K is just what the manufacture recomments. Can someone confirm?

You would rather listen to a shop then the manufacturer?

I thought the stock ones were Denso plugs? I think I remember reading that in another post. BTW the NGK plugs are more $$ than the ones we can get from sewell.

iSuxel, you got me confused there.
So NGK is better than the one from Sewell?

He's saying NGK makes plugs for other OEM cars. And with NGK being better than the Sewell ones, I remember reading another thread and I believe lobuxracer says he uses NGK all the time. Don't quote me on it though.
