[whine mode on] Forty bucks Toyota? Forty fricken' bucks for a single spark plug? Have you lost your mind? I'm used to paying ~$40 for a set of spark plugs. Plus, change out at 40K miles! At least my Venza goes 100K (on paper) between changes. [OK, rant off]
Ya, I know. Turbo. Anyway, I changed them at 32K miles. I'm done driving the truck until next season and figured I would change them now before my next summer adventure. Full disclosure. I didn't pay the list price of $40/ea. I got them for $27/ea out the door at a discount dealer during one of the sales. Right now, there are no aftermarket options. The plugs are NGK. They were stupid easy to change out and I don't think it took me 15 minutes. The hardest part was getting the connectors off the coils. Just keep in mind the spark plug socket is a thin wall 14mm, not the 13/16", or 5/8" of old. Amazon to the rescue since I could not source local.
Gotta admit. It did start and run much better after the change. 90919-A1008.
