spark plugs

[Aotoyota]

Who's changed them and what kind? and does the solara run platinum or iridium? part numbers would be appreciated also!
Cheers

I don't know who else has changed them because they don't have to be changed/maintained untill you reach 100k miles, but this info would be appreciated for me too when it comes time to change them.

[Aotoyota]

100k miles huh? I guess Im on my own on this one then?

Im coming up on 30K and it says in the maintence that spark plugs
are changed.

It looks like plugs aren't replaced until 60k.
Check out this: Maintinance Schedule

BTW I have a set of IK20's for sale, $40 shipped.

Dealer recommended interval is 60k. But for newer Iridium non-performance plugs, it will probably last well into the 6 figures. Standard Platinum will probably wear out around 90k.

I changed mine out at 60K and i used Denso IK20s (Iridium). I think my stock plugs were Platinum NGKs, but I'm a gen1 guy. They may have switched to non-performance Iridium plugs by Gen2, so stock may last longer.

I dont thinK IK20s are the "non-performance" kind of plugs, so they will probably require the same 60k change interval as platinum plugs.

dont mean to flame you or anything but you will find tons of info by using search - 'search all terms'

this topis has been discussed a lot so i'm sure u'll get all the info you want.

I recently change mine with denso plat's from autozone for $6.5 per plug. delaership charges $13 for the exact same plug

I changed them myself (even though i'm a noob when it comes to mechanics) u need a special tool which is easy to find too. took about 35 mins for 6 plugs. the back ones a lil harder.

peace

Stock were denso double tip plugs when I replaced mine I got double tip BOSCH platinum

[Aotoyota]

Thanks for all the replies, I am use to changing spark plugs every two years and just wanted to see what everyone else does plugs.

If I recall correctly, I think Bosch isnt the best for Toyota platforms, and that we should stick to Denso and NGK. As I remember, Bosch is excellent for American and European platforms, but not good for Japanese.

I forget why I think that though. If anyone can back me up, post it up.

Bosch plugs tend to misfire on Toyota platforms. I remember when I took this fundamentals to auto mechanics class. NGK ALL DA WAY
