Ouch! Where do you purchase at?

NGK IFR5A11

In my experience NGK plugs are just as good or better than DENSO

I can go to my local CarQuest and get them for even less than the $8+ on Amazon. The net price on them is around $4 each so even at the $8+ is one hell of a markup!

never regap a platinum or iridium plug - it will render them useless. No need to use ant-sieze on NGK plugs, they do not require it, and it is recommended by NGK tht you do not (using it is detrementral). Use never-
sieze only on plain steel threads like Autolite plugs, AC Delco

That is a waist of $$$ and not necessary , old school thinking

IllusionX · 05-09-2014, 10:27 AM

dealer sells them at 17.50$ each.

obviously i didn't go with those. I think i paid 35$ or so for a complete set of denso on ebay.

Gotcha.

Yeah, I would have to be in a real bind to buy at the stealership with how damned unreasonably expensive they usually are.

I guess it depends on what you buy.

I always get my oil filter from the dealer (at least when i have time to pass by). they are only 6.99$ + taxes

fnkngrv · 05-09-2014, 11:19 AM

I suppose that maybe I am an exception since my "local" dealership is 60 miles one way away.

everything is far in the US. lol
There are at least 6 toyota dealers around the area within a 20mi radius here. LOL

Hi everyone.
I was changing oil today and decided to check sparkplugs to see how they are wearing at 70,000 miles. The plugs came too easy for so many miles. It turned out the dimwit previous owner replaced 120,000 mile OEM iridium with some aftermarket junk. Bosch Platinum +4. What is this junk?

The plugs looked just like these:

fnkngrv · 05-09-2014, 11:16 PM

Bosch generally doesn't make junk. As for using non-iridium I haven't used iridium plugs for most of the life of my car without issue.

Bosch plugs have a well deserved reputation for this:

or that:

never regap a platinum or iridium plug ( you will render it useless ). Also NGK plugs do NOT need anti-seize, as a matter of fact, NGK say NOT to use it, the chrome threads have an anti-seize built into them. Use anti-seize on Autolite or bare steel threads plugs only

you resurrected the old thread just to say this?
the real reason not to use anti-seize is because it messes up the torque value. It's OK to use anti-seize AND decrease torque.

What does Toyota know anyway, RIGHT. 100,000. THEY KNOW WHAT THERE TALKING ABOUT.

Goosecreekjoey · 05-17-2017, 07:09 AM

Could be every 3000 miles like years ago. You Changed plugs when you changed oil. That would be about 30 or so plug replacements in 100,000. G that would be great. Toyota knows, like the SHADOW KNOWS. WHOES the SHADOW, look up.

At almost 92k on my `08. Planed on changing the plugs this summer.
How are the factory wires on the yaris? Will they have deteriorated to any consequential degree in 10 years?
