    You need to provide more information than what is in the title:
    Miles
    The last time spark plugs were changed
    Have coils ever changed?
    Did it start at the last fill-up?
    This is just a start.

    You should have looked at the owners manual or googled maintenance way sooner than this..

    Go with Denso iridium if you are the type of person that likes to set it and forget it. You can get about 100,000 miles out of them.

    Start w/plug change and go from there.
    Or go with OEMs. Apparently you can get about 200k out of them. ;)

    Denso are OEM but I would rather not go over 30k on copper which is why I recommend iridium.

    Guess my sarcasm/joke was lost on you. I'm well aware OEM uses Denso (as well as NGK) and not iridium style.

    I went to buy iridium plugs at my local Toyota dealer. I was talked out of them by the parts department and the service advisor.They said that they caused issues in some Tacomas.

    I call bs. It is like them saying you can't change the upper ball joint because all they can do is change the whole control arm and tell you the ball joint it self is non-serviceable.

    My 2.7 also shakes (vibrates) a bit a idle. It’s annoying but normal I guess.

    From the oil soaked looking plug it appears your valve cover / spark plug tube seal gasket is leaking.

    Did you gap the plugs? I know the dealer will say they're pre gapped, but always double check.
