    I'm have a hard time finding the right spark plugs for my 4.7. I get so many different part numbers from Toyota, Amazon & Rock Auto. I know I need iridium plugs that are either Denso or NGK. Can anyone help? It's mind boggling just to find something so mundane. I guess I could just pull one of my plugs from my truck but once I'm in there, I just want to do the job once and be done.
    It would help to have a sticky for all these common service items.

    Technically NGK or Denso are both correct. So it doesn't really matter. My 06 Tacoma 4.0 V6 from the factory, had 3 Denso's on one side and 3 NGK on the other. All the Tacoma's were that way.

    It'll be interesting to see what I find. I didn't find any record of the plugs being changed. I'm wondering if it's still possible to have the original plugs at 136K? It runs really smooth.

    Its possible. I did my Tacoma's at 80k. It has 170k now. Haven't done them again....supposed to every 60k. Also they are copper not iridium. So even worse to wait.
