How hard is it to change spark plugs on an ES300 (2000) ?

I am approaching 60,000 miles and thought it's time. Would someone recommend the best plug for the car?

Thanks!

We've beaten common topics like this numerous times in the past. Just search for "spark plug change" in this forum and you'll come up with a lot of threads and answers.

Last time I changed my plugs was near 90K miles, with the help of my mechanic friend who had all the tools. The factory ones were NGK, and I decided to go for Denso Iridium since I heard they are pretty good for performance and better start-ups. I'm now around 123,800 miles, and I haven't had any problems with them at all.

Iridiums are the best plugs you can buy.
But for the cost of one iridium plug, you can buy a whole set of NGK/Denso copper core plugs which will spark just as well until they get old.
Then you can change them again for... The cost of one more iridium plug LoL!
