mig25 Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 DENSO. I bought the whole set for 70 bux at autozone. Remember DENSO is OEM For Toyotas and Lexus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverdick Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 DENSO. I bought the whole set for 70 bux at autozone. Remember DENSO is OEM For Toyotas and Lexus. ← I second that... I just replaced mine at 110k and the OE plugs looked like new. Save yourself the time and trouble of doing the job twice - go for the Densos.

I have the current NGK parts catalogue (with cross reference numbers to the most popular replacements.....including Denso). ;) Let me know.

I got set of 8 off ebay for $50. note: just realizes this is an old, old post. anyway, do consider to add oil seals and drive belt tensioner to the 'to-do-list'.

Lexls Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Both NGK & Denso are OEM. B) ← Exactly what I was about to say :), check your owner's manual and you'll see this. I've got NGK irridium plugs in now and they're just fine. Denso or NGK, it's up to you, both are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 VMF, it appears the plugs on your 96 LS should be replaced with laser platinum plugs.......long life iridiums are not available (NGK Iridium IX do not last as long as OE iridiums.....but they are available). I suggest you use the laser plats. The NGK part number for your LS for Laser platinums are: BKR6EP-8 NGK stock number 2215 gap is .032 If yo insist on using the NGK IX iridiums, the part number is: BKR6EIX stock number 6418 with the same gap as above. Denso cross reference# for laser platinum - PK20R8 Hope this helps. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
