Hi folks! If you're looking for the spark plugs for Gen II Prius (Denso SK16R11), you can also use the GM part number for the same part: 94859448 GM uses this part for the GM/Toyota partnered cars (e. g., Vibe). It looked to me that you can get the same part from GM for less.
A great find! How did you determine that the GM plug is the same? I see that two (or maybe three) spark plug types are listed for the Toyota Matrix, depending upon model year and engine size: http://www.trademotion.com/partloca...trix&year=2006&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0 http://www.trademotion.com/partloca...trix&year=2009&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0
I just changed mine (spent $150 of Toyota Credit-Card Bucks at the dealer to stock up on parts) - the plugs are clearly Denso SK16R11. I did a search of SK16R11 to see how much I got "overcharged" and one of the sites crossed the three plugs together - SK16R11, NGK IFR5A11 and 94859448. A bit more searching on 94859448 alone ties it back to being the Denso SK16R11. I wouldn't trust me - Google "94859448 SK16R11" and convince yourself this is the case.
Yup! _IF_ that's really the same plug, that is one heck of a deal! I "paid" $16.79 each at the dealer (Miller Toyota Anaheim CA). Only reason I actually paid retail is I had Toyota Visa card bonus points to spend (they can only be spent at a dealer).
Hey, I might try the local GM dealer(s) if any of them are still around when its time to change the plugs on my 2007. :madgrin:
Tag, you're it! If you actually bought them, you have to let us PCers know if these are the real deal or not!
I just checked the shipping in the cart. I changed my plugs about 30k miles ago. It will be awhile until I'll need another set.
Advanced auto parts has a sweet coupon right now, spend $60 and you can use a 25$ coupon online. The code is BIG25. Yesterday I bought a spark plug wrench, 4 spark plugs, engine body cleaner, 2 bottles of rainx windshield washer fluid, a spark plug sizer, and antiseize for $38.81. I picked my order up in store.
