Spark plug Denso or OEM Mazda

Denso Spark plug

Bro ABSOLUTELY do the spark plugs yourself. I bought oem Denso spark plugs from Napa Auto for about $180. Then all you need is a spark plug socket w/ swivel head, 10mm socket, 12mm, a couple extensions, needle nose pliers, dielectric grease, and a pick to make life easier.

Pros: save money, easy job
Cons: time consuming for beginner

OEM Mazda Spark plug

That price at 63.5k miles isn't bad imo. I spent roughly that same amount for my 2017 back in 2019 with around 40k miles (64k km). What's the service history look like? Have spark plugs been replaced, belts checked, engine oil changed at least 10-12 times by now? How are the pads and rotors?

Vehicle: Mazda
Mileage: 102200 km

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.

Pros: null
Cons: too many failures
