Yup Im going with the NGK lasers. Hoping to see a little better mpg. I pulled one of the plugs it has in it now and it had a single electrode.

ONLY for the 98-00 models. They changed spark plug in 01+ Idk what they changed in the engine, but this is true.

Still wasted spark. They switched to a Denso SK16R-P11. Possible that this plug had a ground electrode with better longevity, or they could have just changed the service schedule.

Personally, I would still use the twin ground.

I'd go Denso.. majority of the electronics in our cars are made by denso.. and that's why lexus is so reliable.

Yes, the system is still wasted spark, but the spark plug (twin to single) was changed in the service manual. I purchased oem NGK.
