I went to the dealer to buy my 2014 CVT Corolla new spark plugs. Ask them for the Denso SC20HR11, then they asked me for my chassi number and gave me the SC16HR11. I kinda argue with the part guy that they are not what the owner manual tells what I should use... now I know... thanks!

I do replace them every 50K just because the car runs better (yes with proof). you can also let the engine oil run for 20K just because the manufacturer say so. It's relatively easy for me to change these so :) Also there are two Spark Plugs for Gen 3 Prius. Over the years Toyota added NGK to the manual. The back on the Spark plugs is from the ignition coil rubber btw. I have done this 4 times already and it looks the same. Currently using NGK ILKAR711B, so far it's the best spark plugs I've had in the 2015 Prius (218K miles)

Rock auto lists a LKAR7BIX11S.... Is this the replacement that you used? I have 198k on my 2014 originals and am getting an occasional stumble on startup. It's due but I don't want to put something in that I'll regret.

@@1southsoon So I've never used LKAR7BIX11S, but I would go with either of the spark plugs recommended by the manufacturer. I originally used DENSO but tried the NGK to see how it performs The objective is not about how long they last but how much does the resistance changes within them. The older they get, the higher the resistance, thus putting more load on the coils. ILKAR7B11 is what I use right now and I'm extremely happy with NGK, hope this helps :)

Same spark plugs should be change at max 90000km ( abt 55000 miles) as per the EU Toyota manual and 115000 miles in USA ! What a difference! I did change mine at 85000km with the new 16’ .

I got the sc16hr11 from the dealer. installed them after removing the original sc20hr11 and to my surprise instead of getting better acceleration which my Prius did have now I got stock with some spark plugs that make my Prius run like a hybrid even in sport mode I am thinking of putting the old ones back even though they may be worn they worked a whole lot better!!! I could burn rubber before now barely! if I could go back in time I would not change them and keep my money which the dealer won't give back on spark plugs! as far as mileage they might work because they make the car accelerate slower. but in case of avoiding an accident I rather have the acceleration.
@edwardhill6945

You should not be able to tell the difference without advanced monitoring equipment. The only difference is the 16 is a hotter heat range, the plug runs hotter.. It’s possible you got a single bad plug, (I once had this happen with new plugs on a Sienna), or perhaps one of your coils is gone bad. Remove them all, & see if one shows signs of misfire, or fouling. If so replace just that plug.
@Ian-je9cf

I just wanted to know why they changed the heat range is it to make them burn cleaner at the detriment to the longevity of the engine its out of warranty so they dont care if your car cooks at 200,000 kms i hope Toyota would not do that i just want the explanation
@edwardhill6945

It will not affect engine life. The difference in heat range, 20-16 is not much. Using a much hotter plug can result in metal pititing & damage. If plugs were showing this damage, it would be well documented by now.

When you are opening a car up that much, why not change the PCV valve? Simple, cheap, could potentially protect the engine. A couple of different generations of Prius have it under the intake manifold (i.e. the 2ZR-FXE). That's a good opportunity to clean the MAS, change the air filter, clean the throttle body, change the gaskets on the air intake and throttle too.

From Denso; "Due to OE requirements DENSO has to change the heat range from 20 to 16. These connected applications are mainly Toyota engines. The OE car manufacturer has already switched to SC16HR11 for newly manufactured vehicles. The Aftermarket will follow this consequently. The level of heat range is connected to low or high speed driving. The initial choice for the right heat range is a result of expectations towards average use of the engine. After a few years of experience with this engine, the manufacturer decided to lower the heat range."

The manual for my 2013 Corolla with the 1.8L engine, which should be the same as yours, calls for the sc20hr11, but the website now shows that the recommended spark plugs have been superseded with these exact sc16hr11 plugs.

@@skyeevl7656 I do it every 50-60K miles, but I believe the factory recommended interval from the spark plug manufacturer is 75-80k. Whenever I do it I also check the rubber boots on the coils too. If they are hard they can become brittle and crack, causing the spark to arc and misfire. My car has only 75k, but when I changed them, the boots looked OK, so I'll probably have to replace them all when I do my next plug change.

In most cases yes, they are the same plug, the “20” is slightly “colder”. It may be that the Prius when running in battery, & in cases where people drive very little, the gas engine doesn’t get used much & plugs were fouling. If your car ran fine with the 20’s, & the plugs don’t look fouled, you can continue with them.
