vs
Spark plug BRISK or Denso
Fitting a decent set (Denso or NGK) of iridium plugs is also worthwhile.
Pros: worthwhile
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
Denso 3457 (FXE24HR11)
Why? It's the plug recommended in the owner's manual and I have never seen anyone have issues with this plug.
Why are they noticeably better than other equivalent plugs from reputable brands, I honestly don't know as it seems that the differences should be negligible. Plugs are one of the areas where the car is very fussy.
Pros: no issues, recommended by manual
Cons: negligible difference from others
Vehicle:
Infiniti
Part number: 3457 (FXE24HR11)
I finally changed out the OG Denso spark plugs on my wife's '10 RX350 at a shameful 415,000 kms. Wasn't idling rough but some low-rpms hesitation. Plugs still basically worked fine, though.
Pros: worked fine, very durable
Cons: low-rpms hesitation
Vehicle:
Lexus
Mileage: 415000 km
Toyota sounds like great deal if they actually use OEM plug (DENSO iridium). That part alone is \\~$18 each (you need 6).
Pros: great deal, OEM plug
DENSO , Iridium Long Life, SK20HPR-L11 Spark Plug
Pros: Iridium Long Life
Vehicle:
Subaru
Part number: SK20HPR-L11
I use brisk standard temperature. Work great
Pros: work great
I already replaced the spark plugs with the Denso ones I listed though... Is this bad?
Vehicle:
Lexus
Mileage: 60000 km
I just run oem plugs gapped to . 024 as recommended by eqt who I'm tuned by. No knock, I had brisks and Ruths before, my car didn't really like brisks and Ruths just made it misfire closer to the 5k change out.
Pros: no knock
Cons: caused misfire
Mileage: 5000 km
I highly recommend avoiding anything other than exactly what is specified in your owners manual, I currently have bad gas mileage because I was too curious to see if the desno two tip would do as good as the other stuff.
Cons: bad gas mileage
definitely not ok, they are spent, also Denso>NgK any day of the week
Pros: Denso better than NGK
Cons: they are spent
