    I've got a similar question... I just bought a 14.. The book suggests 30,000 miles on a set of plugs??

    Do a search on here for "spark plugs". Already tons of information to amaze and amuse. No need to start yet another spark plug thread.

    Ive always used NGK plugs.. Iridium seems to last a bit longer but when changing them out every 30k miles even standard NGKs do the job just fine..

    Fuel mileage will increase a bit, and if you have a rough idle it may help as well..

    Go with Toyota plugs and change every 30K. There is a write up in mods. Easy and inexpensive. Not worth buying expensive plugs if you change every 30k. There is also a good write up on plugs (search)
