I just get bosh platinum, although it can also depend on miles, how many miles does it have?

 

I've got 400,110 miles on my tacoma and I've never had a problem.

Mine is the 2.7l; 4 banger

I'd just grab some Bosh Platinum IR Fusions, you'll end up spending $40 max for the set.

I'd personally recommend champion or denso plugs. Idk if they're available in the US but they would be fine for your car as these plugs are less susceptible to dirt and soot build up. I work in a car parts store so I could even go as far getting you the right model of plug to use.

Hi, so I've recently been testing out spark plugs(for a 2.8L 6Cyl Camaro), and so far I have found that Bosch Platinum+4's and NGK Iridium IX's are the best I have used, and even though they cost more than standard spark plugs, the cost becomes worth it since you will save some fuel by using better plugs(in my case, 4mpg). The only spark plugs I would stay away from is Autolite plugs(I used the iridium version), as they are poorly constructed(the center ceramic thing was bent on all 12 of my plugs) and they really didn't show any benefit over the standard plugs(unlike the Bosch and NGK, which did show improvement). The Autolites also ended up melting when I ran ethanol(e-85), which just confirms their shoddy quality.

*Risky click of the day*
