    I just changed mine at 159000 miles. First time they have been changed and it runs so much smoother it is like a new truck. Factory recommends changing the spark plugs at 60000 miles.

    You are right on point! They had a gap of about.099 but should have been only.044! I can’t tell the difference in performance now that I’vE changed them! They were not hard to get out! I had a Toyota Avalon that ran like a top up until I sold it! Toyota’s have not disappointed me yet!
