Spark plug OEM Toyota or BERU
2005 Camry 2.4L just changed original plugs at 130k miles. I go 5k on synthetic oil and don't have to add any between oil changes.
The OEM plugs are iridium and are good for 120k miles, per Toyota. I paid about $16 per from a dealership (which I was happy to do, because its a job I dont want to be doing again in 50k miles).
Use the Toyota OEM iridium tip plugs. They are amazing!
Toyota Corolla (2017) gets 30/36 mpg and cost $13K with 80K miles on it. Insurance $100/month for maximum coverage. I have had it since 2019 and have never had any maintenance except spark plugs (once), battery (once) and tires (once), and oil changes. So I have spent maybe $1000 on maintenance in 6 years.
My feels like it’s running brand new with 100k plus miles ????
Ive ran Beru ultra copper core for a couple months now and they are one step colder. I honestly dont even check gap on them and my shit runs smooth.
Customer had misfires, bought oem spark plugs and coil pack. Customer came back couple months later, misfire came back. Found that port injector was bad.
Last thing on my agenda is the spark plugs. Got it with 131K and I’m pretty sure the previous owner literally sold it to avoid doing them. I know I should have done them yesterday, but god it looks like a bitch, even with Car Care Nut’s guide. I’m planning on doing the job with the new plenum gaskets, and ignition coils while I’m back there.
I do need to change the spark plugs. I haven't done that in 10+ years and 100,000+ miles. It just started misfiring slightly I believe (haven't checked the code yet), but it runs and drives well still.
A regional tire store / repair center "recommend" spark plugs on my Sienna at 92K for $850 (intake manifold has to come off to get at 3 of the plugs). I asked them what benefit would there be in replacing spark plugs at 92K considering Toyota sets the spark plug replacement at 120K.
