steve2006 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hi, Normally this would consist of changing the air filter,spark plugs,spark plug wires,distributor caps and rotor arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiousB Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 You must drive a lot to change oil monthly?? Only needs new oil every 5k miles. A full tune up is a bit of a misnomer in this era of cars. It’s a terms from the old days of distributor caps, rotors, and points in the ignition. Few cars have any of these parts today with electronic ignition (eliminated points) and individual coils for each cylinder (eliminated distributor cap and rotor). I would refer to Lexus maintenance schedule for service requirements. The schedule I have shows oil change every 5k, cabin air filter every 10k, brake fluid change every 30k, engine air filter every 30k, new timing belt every 90k, coolant change every 100k. Missing from the list is anything about transmission (filter or fluid) and spark plugs. Not sure why these were missing as they seem they should be changed out on some schedule.

And no, I cannot explain why our local Lexus dealer charges 3x ($1700) the anticipated cost ($524) for a 90k servicing and our local Toyota dealer charges only 2x $1000( for the same servicing on a 2002 LS430 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
