Any correct sized , heat range and gapped NGK plug will work fine but some will need to be changed more often. BKR6EIX for example is a good choice, it is iridium tipped and not expensive.
Always stick with NGK. However, NGK has different lines from copper, to platinum, and iridium. Iridium is more expensive, but will last longer. Given they're a bit of a PITA to replace, I'd go with these. I've run them in my 2004 WRX the last 8 years.
if the car isn’t stock and has been tuned, you’ll want to follow the recommendations of your tuner/just put NGKs in it.
This is what a 202k mile spark plug looks like on an 2013 Lexus gs350 daily driver. Pretty impressed with it overall. All 6 plugs look exactly like this.
For spark plugs, denso or bust
Car is very picky about spark plugs because it uses the spark plugs as knock sensors, I used basic NGK copper plugs and replaced every 10k. Very easy to do.
I've been running Denso (5346) IKH24 Iridium gapped .024 on APR stg1 for 48k miles and most recently on stg 2 with no issues.
Just changed my spark plugs.. went from 031/032 factory NGK1675 gap down to 027/028 gap (based on the feeler leaf gauge). i am here to state beyond shadow of a doubt that 027/028 gap feels way better. The car is smooth.. so smooth in fact that it makes me feel like the CEL is about to come on. In 7 years of ownership, I never felt it as smooth as it feels now. When idling I almost feel as its off.. also at speed!
For what it's worth, I've changed my plugs twice (OEM to Denso to Beru-RS7) and never noticed any oil or any difference in color between the plugs.
I have replaced many brand new NGK's in newer chryslers after the customer gets them from a parts store. NGK's can and will cause ignition coil secondary circuit codes. Also, on hemi's they will set asd control circuit codes and cause the car to stall.
