Spark plugs used to be pretty simple but not these days. I have been searching for the "right " plugs but there are so many numbers I'm getting a head ache
The 4th gen is a few years old now, mine @ 123K miles and my mileage indicator says 16.0<>16.2 mpg. Are the plug numbers in TOYOTA manual valid anymore? I want to chg plugs and this may be the only set of plugs I ever put in this motor which plug is gonna last longest? laser? iridium? krypton? plutonium? platinum?
thanks for any opinions

Spark plug FYI

Stick to OEM. Plugs are one of the few things I don't go aftermarket on.

Part #'s should be in owners/maintenance book.
 
Denso IK20 = Electrode .4mm (rated 30k)high performance, low mileage
NGK BKR6EIX-11 = Electrode .6mm (rated 60k-70k) mid, mid
NGK IFR6T11 OE = Electrode .7mm (rated 120k) stock performance, high mileage
Denso SK20R11 (OEM long life)= Electrode .7mm (rated 120k) stock performance, high mileage

Hope this helps. These are 4 top-rated plugs. Rated mileage varies on these plugs depending on various factors of your engine. Keep your engine fuel clean and u should be fine. Toyota recommends the SK20R11 but I found in the owners manual that the discontinued "IFR6A11" is also comparable replacement, the new one is the IFR6T11.

stolen info, but describes some options
