Spark Plug - 138/pc - 828

bro why spark plug so expensive?.

bro,their spark plug are different
millage can last until 80 to 100 k ,
their engine can't simply install other plug those like MYR 40 to MYR 50 pc plug because it cost vibration to engine
but the code plug are different from i see here

Mic,

How much you changed your spark plug the last time?

I do not think that the price of the plugs will gaunrantee you the mileage of use or that companies like DENSO will produce plugs that will cause problems for the engine of the car as they have a reputation and business interest to protect.

From the DENSO website, I can see that both the IS250 and GS350, LS460, IS350 and IS250 all shares the same spark plugs...wouldn't that mean that if similar plugs are shared for a few different engine types would save us consumer money..???

Anyway...go to the link and read for yrself ...for one I would not pay too much for plugs..becos it is still recommended to have the plugs changed at around 50-60K kms.

guys don't sweat it, maybe it's just a case of kena con, or memang those are the best recomended plugs. I know vision auto is more on the expensive side, but i have been going there for a couple of years. i know the outlet manager quite well - who i consulted a lot before buying the 250 (the car i bought was also serviced at vision before). so i did put my trust in them. if really they recomended me to use the most expensive plug, so be it (he did warn about the price before i bought the car)........

i do appreciate greytezza for pointing out the issue, it's something for all of us to learn..........

Mic,
yeah that's what i know also, it's the 3 pin which is also slightly longer than normal plugs. Apparently specially made for these kind of low compression engines.

yup yup,u right

our engine is low compression but high torque ,some more need 3 or 4 hour to change the plug plus cleaning injector and price also higher but value for money,because i always travel up and down,

but some parts i see in singapore are different,like example brake bad,there 's 2 kind for toyota and lexus , price slightly different,function are same but lexus pad brake more dust than toyota,i thought is material but they say same :hmmmm:

what i see in stockist borneo toyota singapore is black box for lexus and red box for toyota,but code are same and material slight different,like brake pad,air filter,air cond filter,oil filter (i dont know why):hmmmm:
