ya i was gonna go with a japanese brand...but any specific? Denso iridium? NGK iridium? does it make a difference as long as its iridium?

for gen 4 or lower, platinum will do just fine.

In a Toyota use NGK's as first pick (platinum or Iridium depending on car, in a gen 3 platinum are fine)

I would take Denso as a second pick.

look at www.rockauto.com for some good NGK prices.

so an NGK Premium Platinum Plug would be fine for my 1MZ-FE? wow 6.81 for a pack of 4 spark plugs is a pretty good price right?

i think toyota replacement is DENSO

NGK and Denso will both work. I had NGK plugs from the factory and replaced with Denso plugs and no problem. Both had twin ground electrodes and were double platinum.

Cammy4U2NV · 08-07-2005, 07:27 PM

so would the NGK Platinum Plugs be a good replacement for stock? or should i go Denso Platinum?

Either one, which ever you can get cheaper

i got NGK iridium plugs for my camry. 6097's i believe but that is a range colder for the snail

Cammy4U2NV · 08-07-2005, 08:10 PM

how do u like your iridiums?

I use Bosch Platinum (+4) in my 1994 V6 LE, and they seem to work great, much better than whatever was in there before...It's a b**** to change plugs in the 1MZ-FE!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
