I had a 3.4 Taco (Supercharged) new back in 98. When I changed the plugs (For the first time at 50K miles) it turns out the factory used 3 NGKs and 3 Densos. The Densos were half worn and the NGKs were like new.

They are Denso. There hasn't been an option until now.

you can order those from that website I posted. They're going for 130+ though.

^^ ohh haha i was on my i phone i guess i missed it. man 130+.. I actually might bite the bullet... it sure as hell probably cheaper to buy these and install them yourself then go to a dealer and buy oem plugs and pay for labor lol

for everyone who's debating about the spark plugs till 90-100k.. change it at 60k. my car is literally not running well and I take well care of it..

if it's better then the stock plugs i'm in for it.. cause it actually helps the car run better.. unlike cosmetic parts :P
