Default what spark plugs u slap on?

Hi i am new to the forum but i just wanted to let you know that i bought some premier spark plugs from japan.


1997 lexus es 300

Use google browser so you can translate japan to english.

These are top of the line spark plugs you can get as of today.
NGK Premium RX : BKR6ERX-11P
Denso IRIDIUM TOUGH VK20

cross-reference page

I bought both and gonna update you on how it goes. Let me know what you guys use. well hope to hear you soon.
*edit all these spark plugs are iridium but the NGK use new material called ruthenium.

You cannot use these on a 1997 ES. Your engine uses waste spark ignition, which requires the use of dual electrode spark plugs. Take a look at the sticker under your hood.

He can use them but the engine will run like crap! ALWAYS use the same plug the car came with, or the recommended plug via the owners manual.

Default update

Ok guys i just put the ngk sparks plugs in. I had the oem denso PK20TR11 for only 50 miles and i notice a drop in horse power and alot louder compared to the previous ngk BKR6EIX-11 that had 60k miles on it. Seem like the oem plugs are ment to last long but lose perfomance. I noticed alot of gas usage and stinky exhaust. When i installed the ngk Premium RX : BKR6ERX-11P i noticed the car was soo quiet it felt like a electric car. I mean the steering wheel has no vibration and i cant even hear the motor. Second thing i noticed start up was super fast, right of the crank, but the oem took 1.5 seconds to start up from cold. I have no stinky exhaust no more and the one thing i oberserved was i hardly press the gas and it moved and the car rarely even downshift anymore going up hill. The shifting is way smoother and i feel putting these new technology spark plugs did what it says as in saving gas, acceleration, and quietness. You dont have to do what i do but im sharing my own experience with you guys. thank you and hope to hear you soon.
