I think my next set of plugs will be Autolite's (just to be different).

Cheap at only $60/set. And they are the beez neez in America.

I guess it probably sounds to good to be true to the people who have ever replaced these expensive plugs.
All I can say is give your nearest Toyota dealer a try because they can buy these plugs and they are cheaper than Ford by a long shot for the exact same plugs.
How can they specify them for your ute when i got my car serviced last week (AUII XR6 HP) he asked if it has iridium plugs i said im not sure. He said if there is an I in your engine number then your car was made with them really the only difference is that you dont have to replace your plugs as often

Actually, I just double checked. They are $13/ea. That is for the APP64.

$6/ea is for the standard ones.

The part number is on the emmision control label on the front underside lip of the bonnet, states that VW16R-A13 is the spark plug for me.
Maybe a few members with different I6 engines could check what is stated for their vehicle?

The sole idea behind iridium plugs is to provide longer useable life (150,000km versus 20,000km).
