I think going OEM is the right choice for modern vehicles. I had the opportunity to do 3 this past year, replacing iridium plugs. Honda - NGK, Nissan Titan - NGK, Pontiac Vibe (Toyota 1.8L engine) - Denso. Yes - cold engine. I used Alum anti-seize very sparingly on each and torqued to spec. I want to be nice to the next person replacing these plugs. It could be me! The toyota 4.7L looks to be significantly easier than the 5.6l Titan. My spark plug socket(s) is (are) shorter, so I just attach to an extension and wrap with some electrical tape to ensure everything comes out the way it should.

Does Toyota's service manual call for anti-seize? I'm guessing not if @Toyota Maintenance didn't use it. Honda specify to use a small amount of anti-seize on the threads of NGK iridium spark plugs and provide a torque spec that I assume takes into account that small amount of anti-seize (18 Nm / 13 lb-ft on my 6 cylinder J35A7 V6 and 25 NM / 18 lb-ft on my four cylinder R18A1). I followed Honda's service manual, but NGK's web site says no anti-seize.

All this seems to be a tough decision because the oxygen sensor especially the one at the top of the exhaust always requires copper anti seize. Difficult to remove without it. Is the exhaust hotter than the spark plug port? Or what do you think causes this seizing in the exhaust? Have you tested with and without anti seize? if so what were the results?
@eppenga3 жыл бұрын
Exhaust is iron, it rusts solid. Engine is usually aluminium, way less rust.
@Funwithhighnotes2 жыл бұрын
The head is aluminum. Using anti-seize will skew the torque reading and it’s easy to over-tighten them, whether by hand or done properly with torque wrench. Also, Denso uses a very thin proprietary coating on the threads, and Toyota accounts for this in their torque specs. Furthermore, even though the plugs are pre-gapped and have the protector around the ends, it’s always good practice to check the gap just to make sure it is where it’s supposed to be. If I remember correctly the gap for this engine(same engine I have) is 1.043 per my 2008 4Runner v8 2uz sport model manual.
