I just got a new to me 2016 f150 with 120k. Did air filter, cabin filter, spark plugs (had a misfire) and boots and oil change. I used champion plugs but most reccomend OEM. Got a wix air filter and a fram oil filter. I used full synthetic 5W-20 Valvoline R&P oil. Use rock auto for parts if possible.
The OEM plugs are iridium and are good for 120k miles, per Toyota. I paid about $16 per from a dealership (which I was happy to do, because its a job I dont want to be doing again in 50k miles).
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.
Last thing on my agenda is the spark plugs. Got it with 131K and I’m pretty sure the previous owner literally sold it to avoid doing them. I know I should have done them yesterday, but god it looks like a bitch, even with Car Care Nut’s guide. I’m planning on doing the job with the new plenum gaskets, and ignition coils while I’m back there.
But let this be a lesson never use champion plugs again
Champion are the only plugs I’ve had the ceramic crack on, so no more Champion for me.
My service center guys installed Champion plug instead of Bosch on my turbocharged Altroz. Company user manual clearly says to use Bosch in TC. My car's economy has dropped significantly...and I'm just frustrated.
I won't run champion plugs in anything but lawn mowers. That's the only thing I've put them in that didn't get angry about it. Guess everybody's vehicles are different, but personally I don't think they're very good plugs.
