Sorry...this may be a lame question but I am new to this vehicle so here goes.

I just bought a set of NGK BKR5E-11 Spark Plugs for my '02 Limited off the internet. My question is this... the hood on my runner states that I should only use "Twin Ground Electrode Plugs" (in fact they even have a picture with the correct type circled and the single type with an X thru it!) but the replacement NGK's I just purchased are "Single Ground". I thought I was buying the correct thing...they were direct replacements listed for my truck!?!

So...Am I ok to install these NGK's that were listed as compatible for my '02 Limited 4wd or should I send them back and replace them with the "Twin Ground" type?


Any advice???

***Note: I have also posted this same question on T4R.org***

 

Welcome to YotaTech.....should be fine what ive heard is the twin ground ones last a little longer

 

ngk is usually compatible for most all toy's. Tim

 

When it really comes down to it, it is personal choice. More electrodes generally means more paths for electricity to travel (more choices) Obviously it chooses the path of least resistance. You could install those plugs, and likely wont notice any difference. But, there is probably a reason Toyota Specifies that style of plug.
