Sparkplug problems
My Toyota garage says that if I replace the spark plugs with 'Laser Iridium Premium NGK IFR6T11' they will cause problems - what problems - not stated.
These are not the recommended plugs, but I have already bought them from another dealer. email to the manufacturer in the USA stated that these plugs were often used by Toyota - again not specific enough regarding use in my RAV4 (three-door version 2004; milage=40,000). Can you say what problems these plugs will cause if I go ahead and ask the dealership to use them? Is the garage just trying to frighten me into using their own brand?

Pretty simple answer: do what your garage tells you to do.
