Default spark plugs

Anyone buy from this seller before. Spark plugs needs to be changed soon and was wondering if anyone had bought and used these.

I recommend them from RockAuto.com. personally I wouldn't trust eBay plugs. Make sure you Gap them at .043" OEM spec. Denso they tend to come gapped at .038".

Torque spec for plugs is 18ft lbs

Second the motion. I have not bought from ebay for years. I usually get pricing from Amazon and then compare it to the local Auto stores, whichever is lower and the timing needed. The Auto stores nowadays are getting very aggressive and are offering up to 40% off on certain amount of purchase. Like up to 40% on $150+.

I'm assuming they do. It wouldn't hurt to check anyways. I don't think it's ever been confirmed.

As for the Denso #3473 FTF online. I've gone through 2 sets always checked out at .038" Gap.

The only eBay plugs I would trust, because they are a Lexus Dealership out in Arizona.
