NGK 5464 Iridium IX vs NGK 4996 Laser Iridium Spark Plugs
Buying new plugs for my 2007 Yaris. I've had it a week and it currently has 106,000 miles on it. RockAuto has the NGK 5464 Iridium IX for $5.93 & the NGK 4996 Laser Iridium for $6.07. At that price I was just wondering the difference? Preference?
Thanks, Russ |

Any plug will last 100k now so it's moot.

My wife's Camry has 130k on the plugs and it's running like it did 12 years ago.
100k change interval.

same heat range,same gap, same resistance, but the 4996 has a 8mm center electrode for longer life, where the ground electrode of the 5464 is tapered for "faster starts and better acceleration". !!?? I blew up the pic and the ground is tapered,sure as heck. So if I take a dremel to the ground on the 4996 do I get a faster,longer life plug?
