godzillatreat Posted March 14, 2009 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?
capnfred Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 don't use BOSCH, they cannot be trusted, had 4 out of 6 go bad,,, I am using NGK iridiums
gbhrps Posted March 15, 2009 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.
godzillatreat Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 Thank you both for the response. I will do a little more homework about both plugs.
George_Jetson Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I also use bosch, single electrode plugs. Whatever brand you decide on, make sure that you gap the plugs!
grash Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Thank you both for the response. I will do a little more homework about both plugs. Hey I just bought a set of the bosch plugs with 2 electrodes on them I didn't have them put on yet. what brand did you buy?
Lexusfreak Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 NGK or Denso 'long life' Iridium's here (not the NGK IX version).
stcist2 Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 ya i bought my plugs from the toyota dealer 10 bucks each but wth if they last 100k why not ... beleive it or not the engine was designed to have a specific plug and w/o it it will not perform like it was intended to
Lucky13 Posted April 21, 2009 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.
