Spark plug OEM Toyota or OEM BMW

OEM Toyota Spark plug

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).

Pros: long lifespan, good durability

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.

Pros: low maintenance costs
Mileage: 128747 km

OEM Toyota plugs will probably last forever but it depends if your gas mileage is like 5 to 10 miles less that's the only way I would change the back plugs.

Pros: excellent longevity

OEM BMW Spark plug

I just completed my first spark plug change on my G20 330 at 40k miles. Three of them especially Cylinder 1 came out "wet" and I'm unsure if it's oil.

Cons: wet spark plugs

OEM Toyota Spark plug

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.

Pros: planning new gaskets
Cons: looks like a bitch

OEM BMW Spark plug

Cylinders 1-3 were misfiring. They couldn't get the spark plug out of cylinder 3 because the other dealership had over tightened it. They had to get a special tool to remove it. The tool BROKE because apparently it was so overtightened and mis-threaded. They finally got it out yesterday and sent the cylinder to the machine shop to get the head off. I just got word that there is a hole in the piston and the valve head is completely gone. They are saying now that it has nothing to do with the spark plug being overtightened. He asked about driving through water, and road conditions. It was a dry day. Not an issue. They said I need a new motor at this point.

Pros: spark plug removed, new motor needed
Cons: overtightened spark plug, broken tool, hole in piston, valve head gone
