Spark plug OEM Toyota or Denso

Spark plugs are only $15 for Denso iridium plugs (providing the longest life) and they take no more than 20 minutes to replace them.

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).

Spark plugs are simple too, just need the proper sockets and swivels. Took me about 45 minutes. That middle plug on passenger side is the toughest, but twisting boot 180 degrees and pulling it out from the front made it a breeze!

If you doing the spark plugs do the coils too. For the spark plugs use Denso 3499 (about 15 dollars each), for the coils use Denso 673-1310, (about 50 dollars each).

Use the Toyota OEM iridium tip plugs. They are amazing!

Denso work quite well

Toyota Corolla (2017) gets 30/36 mpg and cost $13K with 80K miles on it. Insurance $100/month for maximum coverage. I have had it since 2019 and have never had any maintenance except spark plugs (once), battery (once) and tires (once), and oil changes. So I have spent maybe $1000 on maintenance in 6 years.

Denso or ngk. Bosch at worst. I would recommend against the off brand in your photo.

Had some Denso plugs in my '15 WRX (unaware to me) and the plug in cylinder 2 was fouled within 7k miles and caused a misfire. Turns out the shop that the previous owner took it to for the 60k-mile plug change decided to cheap out. I now have OEM plugs :D

Careful with Denso, back in MK7 days some complained that the plugs would shatter and cause engine damage.
