Lexus LX470 Parts and Accessories

Parts That Keep the Lexus LX470 Running Strong Over Time

First introduced in 1998, the Lexus LX470 stands out for its ability to handle rough terrain without giving up comfort or luxury. Drivers who enjoy long-distance travel, towing, or weekend getaways often choose this SUV for its capability and dependability. Still, like any high-mileage vehicle, it needs the right parts to keep performing well. Choosing genuine Lexus parts instead of low-cost aftermarket brands helps avoid unnecessary repairs later on.

Don’t delay when it’s time for a timing belt

The timing belt plays a critical role in engine function, and it's one of the most important parts to replace on the LX470. Around 90,000 miles is the typical replacement point, though heavy use or heat can shorten that interval. A worn belt can slip or break, leading to expensive internal engine damage. Genuine Lexus belts from Longo Lexus fit precisely and hold up better than aftermarket versions, which often cut corners on materials.

Replace the radiator before cooling problems start

The radiator helps regulate engine temperature, and signs of failure—like leaks or rising temps—mean it’s time to act. High-mileage LX470s are prone to radiator wear, especially if exposed to heat, pressure, or old coolant. Genuine Lexus radiators offer consistent cooling performance and are built to last. Aftermarket alternatives might save a little upfront but usually lack the structure and compatibility needed for long-term use.

Install fresh spark plugs when performance dips

If the engine hesitates, idles roughly, or burns more fuel, worn spark plugs could be the reason. The LX470’s V8 engine relies on high-quality plugs to keep running smooth. Genuine spark plugs are made to meet exact Lexus specs, including the proper gap and heat range. Generic brands may fit, but they often wear faster or misfire under pressure.

The Lexus LX470 was engineered for strength, but it still depends on the right parts as it ages. Genuine Lexus components provide the quality, fit, and long-term reliability this SUV deserves. Aftermarket parts can seem like a deal, but they usually fall short. Longo Lexus carries the real parts that match what the LX470 was built for.
