godzillatreat Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hey everyone. I have a 99 ES300 and I am looking to replace the spark plugs. What kind of plugs are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbhrps Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 godzillatreat, I presently have Bosch Platinums in three vehicles and they all run flawlessly. I've been using them in all of my vehicles, except my antiques, for the last 20 years or more. Not one has ever failed. By the same token, Bosch makes three models of platinum plugs,I believe. I've only used their least expensive, single electrode version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillatreat Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Thank you both for the response. I will do a little more homework about both plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George_Jetson Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I also use bosch, single electrode plugs. Whatever brand you decide on, make sure that you gap the plugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky13 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Denso. In general, Denso is a good brand to use in japan cars. If you notice, the larger fuses thet they come stock with are made by Denso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
