    I replaced my factory plugs (I assumed they are factory because of the split brands and my truck was at 38k)

    Here are the differences I saw, Denso on the left and NGK on the right
    Cylinder 1 on the left cylinder 2 on the right Cylinder 3 on the left cylinder 4 on the right
    Cylinder 5 on the left cylinder 6 on the right

    when i worked for the local harley dealer, i wouldn't give out part numbers either, i would spend 3 days looking up parts for a wreck estimate, only to have the customer want the parts list and look online for his parts and i'm out my parts commission.

    Yes. Those are, in fact, called for if you have a 1GR-FE engine.

    Adding this response from another thread I just responded to, not sure how to link, to share my recent intel. RockAuto seems to be about the best price and selection I have found for plugs. "scocar - Thanks for the link for Camelback Toyota, I may use this for parts in the future, also https://wholesaledirect.moderntoyota.com/spark-plugs/2017-toyota-tacoma, they are fairly local to me, in NC at least. Unfortunately, for you 3.5ers, that price appears to be per plug as they are iridium, may only need to be replaced at 60K miles, but appear to be twice the price of Iridiums for the 4.0 which I have. I just purchased Denso 3381's for $3.03 per plug copper, 3421 Iridium would have been $5.71 per plug from Rock Auto. Denso over NGK due to less wear per TW comments, but put NGKs in my 67 Camaro based on Chevy owner comments. Hopefully, the price 3.5 plugs would go lower as more engines are sold. "

    Side question - Any tests proving NGK claims iridium "Designed specifically for the performance enthusiast. Iridium IX® offers extreme ignitability, improved throttle response and superior anti fouling" yet copper is a better conductor. I just can't find any proof. Thanks

    Rock Auto has a Denso 4705 for 3.5's @ $8.12 per plug - another option.

    Changed mine today - similar to RoastyToastyMan’s photos - the NGK’s averaged a slightly larger gap @ .051, Densos were .045.

    You’re a negative person.. this is the second time you’ve replied to a post of mine with negativity. I never answered my own question. I asked a question and then stated what I had heard. I’m seeking advise or affirmation that what I heard was correct.

    Get a life.

    You might reread your post. You ask a question about one product, then make a 'I know' statement about the OE version of that part.

    Sounds like answering your own Q to me.

    But since you want affirmation......

    Seems like you have a nice low mileage truck. I'd go with what you know. OE.

    Better?
