Spark plug OEM Toyota or BRISK
Stock is generally fine, however if your tracking or going through multiple heat cycles on your drives id recommend er12s from brisk. I run them and they havent skipped at beat. Intervals are shorter for changes.
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.
I use brisk standard temperature. Work great
I switched to brisk just because of the high amount of ngk knock offs and they are supposed to last a bit longer and or have less wear than the ngk I'm a step colder rr4ys they have been great.
You get a better performance if you install a booster plug, DNA air filter and Brisk spark plugs. Great torque from 2000 rpm as a result.
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).
I recently took my stage 2 43K mile b8.5 s4 apart and did the PCV, water pump, thermostat, new 2 step colder brisk spark plugs gapped to .25. I took the spark plugs out and noticed heavy carbon and the ground electrode was white, even on all plugs . (20 miles on plugs)
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.
Right before i changed the map I also swapped spark plugs (brisk er12s). Since it started the rough vibrating, I’ve inspected spark plugs and coil packs, changed the coil pack grounding to a ground kit, cleaned the MAP sensor, and even tried throwing some liquimoly valve clean in it.
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.
