Spark plugs

How many miles? In my experience, they last 15K to 20K. I just replaced a set on my niece's 2015 Odyssey; the rear bank is a pain, but doable.

151,000 miles

With Toyota its NGK or Denso only. Typically Toyota installs Denso at the factory. You can use copper type plugs but will need to change them more often. Think about that for a V6 where the rear bank is hard to access.

My experience with Toyota V6s
From the factory, one bank has NGK, one has Denso
Both double platinum or iridium, just one of each brand

I guess they want to patronizie both of their home team suppliers equally?

Although they use the SK20R11 quite heavily through the lineup

One of the only things I will buy at the dealer are plugs and, surprisingly enough, wipers.

Hey guy’s, Can I use a different spark plug than what the manufacturer recommend? For example, The manufacturer of my Toyota and Acura recommend Ngk or Denso iridium spark plugs. Will there be a major difference or problem if I install Denso platinum or copper plugs? Thanks

Yes,... if you install copper plugs, then you have to change them out sooner. Both Denso platinum and copper plugs, due to the center electrode diameter being larger than iridium will produce a less efficient combustion than the small diameter iridium tipped plugs.

My V6 Tacoma was like that. No idea why.

It's been a while, but he thinks they were those Bosch 4-electrode plugs.

This is after about 60K - not too shabby in my book.
