Spark plugs

Is it better to get the OEM spark plugs or the more expensive ones??

 

IMOP any good platinum plug will serve. If you're into race truck stuff, then by all means spending the dough on HP plugs.

You might get more/better info on our TN thread, try posting in here - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/official-tennessee-thread.112982/page-3041#post-20147100

 

Thank you sir

 

More anecdotal than scientific test results, but.... I took out OEM, and installed NGK "iridium" plugs in my truck. OEM had almost 100K. They LOOKED almost new when I took them out. New plugs and I could not tell one bit of difference, even though these were high dollar plugs. Just HAD to try 'em. Probably won't spend the extra again.

Did a friends truck. Took out OEM with less than 20K and installed E3 "race plugs"....Could not tell one iota of difference in how it ran.

I like NGK after a 17 year relationship with them while racing motorcycles. Can't honestly say they're any better or any worse.

Do NOT like Champion plugs. Had bad luck with them in a couple other trucks.

Again, not "science based"....Just good ol' "seat of the pants" feel and a close watch on gas mileage.

 

You don't have to go with "OEM" per se, but NGK or Denso of the proper part numbers will be fine. They last a LONG time and they're only a couple bucks a pop.

 

Thanks for the info!!
