Incorrect plug
I entered my car 2000 Infiniti I30 with 3.0 V6 to look for spark plugs. A spark plug that is incorrect for my car is shown on your site stating its correct for this car. It is Denso SK16PR-L11. The correct plug shown on Denso's site is Denso SK20PR-L11. The difference is the 16 in the number witch is the heat range. A 16 installed could in fact due major internal damage to my engine including burning a hole in the piston if the cars driven on a very long road trip and since they can be installed for yrs and up to 100,000 miles these days it eventually will take its toll on an engine. It is a hot plug and not the original heat range plug for this car. Please visit Denso's site and update your plug info. Thank you

Never Buy These Plugs
I purchased 8 of these a little over a year ago for my Honda Insight and they have been a nightmare. The engine started missing after awhile so I checked the "new" plugs and found that cylinder #3 plug anode was missing! OMG,that means it went through the engine. I replaced it and ordered new Honda plugs. Before I could put the new Honda plugs in Two more of the DENSO plugs failed the same way, anode fell off in the engine. Bad news for me is that after replacing the defective plugs the engine is still missing on cylinder #2, so this means that something else is damaged. See the picture.

Great choice for my 2004 5.3l Z71 Tahoe "flex"
Put these in to replace the ac delco pro dbl plats. I researched for days to find a good plug for my truck. Thought the delco's were the way to go. Was I ever wrong truck was like it was dying. Misses, misfires, code p0300. Then saw these with the GM in description. Ordered on line and picked up in store. Had them in a couple hours and truck was cured. Runs awesome now like it should. It just didn't like the plats. I even saw some kind of tsb from gm switching to these plugs. I bit. Stick with iridium and make your ride happy. Thanks to all the counter staff at AAP. They were very nice and fast. Plugs were waiting for me when I got to the store. I'll report back after a few miles if plugs give any problems.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Long Life proper Performance
make sure you use anti seize .this plugs are good for 60K miles plus and you want them to come out after some years. please do no expect that replacing spark plugs on your Corolla will make it feel like an Avalon and Give you the MPGs of a Prius ,if you replaced the plugs and felt a big difference you probably waited too long
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Identical to OEM
Verified Buyer -
Denso is the OEM manufacturer for TOYOTA / LEXUS /SCION. These ones are identical to the ones that come in the 2nd generation Prius (2004-2009). If you plan on replacing at the recommended intervals of 100k miles these are perfect. They are a bargain here compared to what the dealer charges for the exact same plug. If you are replacing with the platinums or double platinums to save a few dollars now you will need to change around 30-40k they don't hold up as well with the hybrid engine shutting on and off. Don't forget the dielectric grease for the boots and more importantly the anti sieze grease for the threads.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
top shelf product
Verified Buyer -
Great product! Japanese companies do know how to handle production of hi-tech parts. These babies will easily get you over 100K miles without hiccup. those spark plugs are not cheap but well worth the expense!
