On an I4 it is easy as for the type of plug almost anything from NGK or Deso will do I like NGK iridium IX because they last nearly for ever.

Not bad at all you want part number BKR6EIX-11

I found some on ebay for 30 shipped probably the same ones you are looking at.

I put in Denso IK20's in my N/A V6 engine, at 139k miles, the stock ones were in, last lady never changed them! Only thing I noticed was a much much smoother idle!

I think the IK20s are the way to go, but why would there be so many different "OE" gaps, even on Iridiums?

I've changed my spark plugs on my 99 V6 Solara yesterday with a friend. I bought NGK G-Power platinium. Why? They were $20 for 6! We did a test road before and after, it made a nice difference! I think the spark plugs have never been change and the car has 180 000 km! (120k).

There was some rust (oxydation) inside the passenger plug, but overall the plugs are still very good.

The car had NGK spark, and they were very old. I did sea foam 2 days ago so now my car is working very smooth and clean. My friend is mechanic and he was very happy to work with me on a Toyota, he is a mechanic for Ford.

It worth and time and money, for sure. Best upgrade yet that I did on my "stock" car. Cost me 20 bucks + 6 beers of richard's red.

Little update with my spark plugs..after 1 week I can say that it make a great difference..I did some friendly "race" and I can say that the car react faster,accelerate more and stable.. really for $20 it's the best I did yet (with my Nakamichi IN-DV7 flip touch screen for $280!! (as my avatar) lol)

I would recommend it anytime!
