Which brand spark plugs should I get

Which would you recommend for spark plugs replacement? NGK, Bosch or Denso?

I'm not sure which brand I currently have. I wasn't going to go at 'em until I get the new ones to replace. That is if it isn't a too difficult of a DIY job.

In the NON-Hybrids, the 3.5L engine gets NGK as factory plugs: NGK DILZKR7B11G

Hybrid models have:
ILZKR7B11) (Ngk) or (SXU22HCR11) (Denso)

I see NGK Laser IridiumDILZKR7B11G is quite expensive. Is it that much worth the extra $ than the factory NGK Laser Iridium IKR7DIX-11S (93175)?

Only 12 bucks a pop here : https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...park+plug,7212

5% code found under our sponsored threads from RockAuto.


I guess compared to the 5.xx , 12.xx is "quite expensive" but its 6 plugs that last you 100K...

I just googled and found out RockAuto has a history of selling counterfeit NGK spark plugs. I better do some further research before I put these in my car.

You are right. WIsh I can edit my previoust post.
There are people claiming that they wouldn't trust any online dealers including RockAuto plus RockAuto is not on the NGK authorized dealer list. But it seems like most people find RockAuto reputable.
