Original Equipment Denso Iridium spark plugs have been known to go well over 300,000 miles in Toyota/Lexus V6 engines with excellent performance and economy results.

Don't just take my word for it - that you're wasting both time and money replacing the OE Denso Iridium spark plugs at 60k miles. Take the word straight from Denso that their Iridium spark plugs will last beyond 100,000 miles. Is there any question why Lexus only trusts Denso spark plugs as original equipment in their vehicles?

Lexus says 60k, denso says 80-100k. I would stick with Lexus for assurance. Let's say for $100, the spark plug could potentially last 100k, that goes to $1/1k miles. You change at 60k, it's only $40 "POTENTIAL" waste of money.
You really want to save a maximum of $40 every 5 years on your loved car?
