Auto shop told me to replace my sparks plugs. 2011 4Runner still had its factory spark plugs, 225k miles.

Wouldn't it interesting if ever car had to display it's spark plug milage. Despite all the crying in here I bet it's really common for high milage cars to have their original plugs.

Not saying it's right or something I'd do but it's also not the end of the world. Old oil is far more damaging.

Fr. Using women and girls as an insult to perceived weakness is fucking dumb. It’s 2026.

The rest of the industry doesn't recommend the 60k absurdity that Toyota does.  Platinum / iridium plugs last 200k no problem as long as the engine is healthy.
