Spark plug Autolite or Denso

New Denso Platinum spark plugs. Car drives great, no codes, no sputtering or stalling or hesitation.

Fitting a decent set (Denso or NGK) of iridium plugs is also worthwhile.

Why? It's the plug recommended in the owner's manual and I have never seen anyone have issues with this plug.

Why are they noticeably better than other equivalent plugs from reputable brands, I honestly don't know as it seems that the differences should be negligible. Plugs are one of the areas where the car is very fussy.

I finally changed out the OG Denso spark plugs on my wife's '10 RX350 at a shameful 415,000 kms. Wasn't idling rough but some low-rpms hesitation. Plugs still basically worked fine, though.

Toyota sounds like great deal if they actually use OEM plug (DENSO iridium). That part alone is \\~$18 each (you need 6).

It\u2019s true that you dont\u2019 get quite as good performance as with the Bosch, but this is my second set of autolites and I\u2018m over 200k miles already.

Homie, do not run Autolite plugs.

Most Asian brands are pretty picky about spark plugs. You put Autolites in a 70s malaise-era Ford - not in a modern, sophisticated, computer controlled, turbocharged Honda.

Autolite are garbage plugs. Get denso or ngk plugs and gap them accordingly before installation. You can see signs of blow-by at the porcelain.

I wish my Toyota 4Runner spark plug service was that cheap in the Toyota dealer. I was quoted $800 parts + labor for OEM Denso.
