A few years back a dealership told me I needed to replace the spark plugs on my 2011 Camry at 75k. I took it to my mechanic and he did it for me. I regretted it because the spark plugs were in good condition.
Not sure why you need to change the spark plug for such a very low mileage vehicle. Stock spark plug from Toyota are good for 100k mile. Unless Toyota decides to put in some cheap basic spark plugs in them newer vehicle. After market spark plugs are NOT as good as the stock hence why you would need to change them out more often than the original. And also not sure why you need a wobbly extensioner adapter for a spark plug removal either. It just made your work much more harder. The wobbly adapter is only use for tight space that you cannot reach due to an awkward placement of the nuts or bolt. All you need is a wrench and a socket.
Maybe it would have been better to change it to the same type of plugs...it might be cheaper but definitely not as durable as the Denso that you have taken out.
The old ones look real good.USE ONLY IRIDUM DENSO OR NGK.

spark plugs are 120k in Toyota book
A very few models not all
By the book that may be true, but in my situation, I have more wear and tear on my car so I would never wait to 100,000 miles to replace spark plugs
In real life, driving condition, spark plug, where is different than what the book says, especially in my driving situations

That may be true per manufacturer but in real world spark plug should be changed before 100,000 miles there relatively easy to do inexpensive
I use what I have available

autolites in a toyota lol
I know crazy
@tonywhite425 auto cheap sparkplug hence why they call it autolite.
Spark plus at 39K miles?? What a waste of money.
That was money well spent and I’ll do it again at 80,000 miles
Thought all modern Toyotas are 100k
Only some are
You don’t go by what the book says you go by the wear and tear on the actual part and your driving conditions and habits
Wrong, 100,000 miles.
Unwise to wait 100,000 miles to change an easily serviceable inexpensive part.
Dealer also says wait 10,000 miles to change your oil
