Hi guys,
so far I have been using "normal" NGK BKR5EYA but I wanted to try some Iridium plugs. Local store recommended me Denso IKH16TT.
Now I am comparing them against each other and the Denso has considerably longer thread part... the rest ("above the nut") seems identical. Check the picture...

I must say I did not have the balls to put the longer plug in. Any experience with it please? Do I need to ask Denso directly to be 100 per cent sure?

My Yaris 2007 uses 2SZFE engine - 1.3 with 64kW.

Thank you!

I like to go to rockauto site just to search part numbers, you could check that out there.

That’s definitely not right. Don’t damage your engine with that. It looks like that goes in a truck engine. You need IK16TT. That’s what I put in mine and they’re good plugs.

Yep, the store already confirmed the mistake on their end and they will change the plugs for IK16TT. Thanks for your quick response guys.
