So I am going to replace my spark plugs in about 6k miles. I'd like to get some feedback on which brand I should use and why? Thanks for any useful suggestions.

 

what is your mileage? the interval for changing spark plugs is 60,000 miles. i would use oem plugs cause they use triple ground electrode unless you can find the same type of plugs from non-oem.

 

I'm at 53.5k miles right now...changing at 60k as recommended by Lexus.

 

Denso or NGK would be my preference

 

why don't you just use OEM's i'm sure they are practically almost the same unless they put some crappy spark plugs in our cars.. which i doubt.

 

I vaguely recall a thread a while back about plugs- the ones in these engines are slightly different due to the DI system, so at the time selection in the after market was pretty much zero

 

lol what does it matter?

whatever they are, make sure they're iridium

 

the OEM brand is NGK iridium ...

 

oem NGK !!!!!!

 

Factory factory factory parts..esp. when it comes to routine maintenance

 

Don't touch the plugs at 6K miles, nothing to be accomplished.

 

I'm CHANGING the plugs in about 6k miles. My mileage is just under 54k miles right now.

 

the plugs are good for 100K ? (correct me if I am wrong)

I remembered the manual says Denso Iridium ???

 

Bingo but i think it is 60k for replacement in manual

NGK are also very good plugs i have used it in the past.

3. Spark Plug
-Long-reach type spark plugs are used. This type of spark plugs allows the area of the cylinder head to
receive the spark plugs to be made thick. Thus, the water jacket can be extended near the combustion
chamber, which contributes to cooling performance.

-The triple ground electrode type iridium-tipped spark plugs are used to achieve a 60,000 miles (100,000
km) maintenance interval. By making the center electrode of iridium, it is possible to achieve superior
ignition performance and durability when compared to platinum-tipped spark plugs. Furthermore, two
ground electrodes have been added to further improve ignitability, wear resistance, and fouling resistance.
