Spark plug OEM Toyota or Autolite

I have an 02 4runner with 289,500 miles. I've had it for the last 106,000. Replaced the timing belt/ water pump twice. Replaced spark plugs twice. New brakes a few times.

Unfortunately no--replace them. The electrodes wear down and become less efficient. The good news is that iridium plugs have a tremendous lifespan. You're supposed to change them every 100k miles/167k km.

In my 206 classes we run this autolite sparkplug because it’s required.

My understanding is that we switched because people were buying plugs in bulk and looking for ones with the lowest internal resistance believing it would effectively advance the engines timing. Supposedly these autolite plugs are much more consistent.

O drove my Corolla to the point the spark plugs weren't firing and the car wouldn't start. I changed the plugs and it ran great after that.

Bought a 03 100 series with 241,000 only issue was the number 7 spark plug blew out, had to re-tap it and install a aluminum sleeve, and replace the coil

Make sure if you purchase spark plugs that it is not Auto Light. They tend to mess your vehicle up more and not work well with Toyotas.

Don't use AutoLite plugs in this car, they are known to have issues.

Also, Autolite is extra terrible. I would have done anything else.

Local mechanic used an Autolite plug, not Honda-recommended NGK. Misfires stopped for a month, then happened twice more. I have since discovered this brand does not run well in a Honda engine.

I changed my plugs to autolite because I had never heard anything bad about them. I replaced them after 3 weeks due to misfires, put another set of autolites in and it ran fine for 2 weeks. Started misfiring again and swapped in a set of NGK's, no problems since.
