Pros: reliable, no warning lights

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 BMW Spark plug

I did my spark plugs on my 335i f30 and I can say one thing. $400 for labor on spark plugs is treason. Shit should take those "experienced" mechanics maybe an hour.

Cons: expensive labor
Vehicle: BMW

Swapped the NGKs (around 60k miles on them) for new OEM Denso plugs. That stopped the shaking for about two days, then it came back.

Pros: stopped shaking for days
Cons: shaking came back

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
