    Nippon Denso all the way, or NGK. Since they are so easy to replace I just go with copper.

    Check your owners manual. In the back they will have the proper plug brand and part number for the plugs. Might have to do a cross reference with the mfr website for an updated part number.

    Nippon Denso is the actual company name and is or was partly owned by Toyota. That's why it's OEM. If your not familiar, there is the Toyota Group. It consist of all the joining companies that work with Toyota. Like Aisin I mention so much. Denso is part of, like Daihatsu and then a bunch more you never heard of. BTW there is a slight difference between NGK and Denso, as far as performance and longevity. Very minor, but I'm happy with both companies. I just chose Denso Copper as my main plug. If I had a vehicle where I have to remove the intake manifold just to get to 3 spark plugs, then hell yea it's getting iridium, only because they last 100k, not that there better.
