Spark plug Champion or Denso

Word to the wise, avoid using anything but the OEM recommended Champion Iridium plugs. Jeeps are pretty finicky when it comes to the sparkies.

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.

Denso 3457 (FXE24HR11)

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).

Champion are ok if you change them every 2000 miles, otherwise they tend to loosen up at the terminal and you end up having to retighten them on a rigid mount Harley every 500 miles or so.

I’ve had several Denso plugs do this on a couple Camrys I service, and our own. All 2.4 cars. Caused tow ins for both husband and wife’s cars. I’ve fired denso as a spark plug provider, too many failures.

Post inspection they mentioned that the spark plugs have gone faulty and was firing properly. They installed the new spark plugs.\n\nThe issue here is, I have driven cars for 10-15k without changing spark plugs and this is a new car from showroom which had bad spark plugs, also looks rusted, which was unexpected.

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