OEM plugs are NGK as well.
Owner reviews for spark plug
I changed my plugs recently and qent with NGK Ruthenium gaped a step colder and they are working well for me, seem better than Motorcraft but thats just my opinion.
I just did the 30k service and my mechanic recommended these plugs. They are expensive, but worth it.
Stick with Champion plugs in the 4.0L inline 6. Anything else will have you chasing a “stumbling” idle.
I use champion on my 04. No issues. The more expensive ones that’s when the issues start
I use Champion in my 02. Never had any issues.
Use the Toyota OEM iridium tip plugs. They are amazing!
I have a had a couple of NGK spark plugs with very fragile ceramic insulators over the last few years. I suspect like everybody else they are cutting on QC due to that inflation that officially doesn't exist, especially for made in Japan products.
Make sure if you purchase spark plugs that it is not Auto Light. They tend to mess your vehicle up more and not work well with Toyotas.
But yeah, switch to another brand and stop using champions.
