My 2001 Camry V6 with 55,000 original miles still has the original spark plugs and wires in it. I purchased 6 new plugs (Denso (3253) PK20TR11 Double Platinum Spark Plug) and will install these next week. These are what came with the car originally. Do you think I should also purchase these two items below and replace them as well? Thank you for the help.

I pulled 1 plug and below is what it looked like. How bad would you say it is?

 

These plugs can go 100K but are usual changed earlier for emission reasons.

You can replace the ign wires if you want but OEM should last a lot longer then 55K.

 

Thanks for the reply. I know what you are saying about miles and part life, but I thought the car is a 2001 and this is 2014. Time isn't a factor in considering replacement?

 

If you've got the money, replace them. I do think that if those parts are original they should be replaced based on time. Another good reason to replace the plugs is that they will not get rusted in place. It sucks when you snap a plug in the cylinder head. The wires I would care less about.

 

Thanks for the reply! Yes them rusting into place is a concern and it's why I'd like to replace them even though there is only 55k on the car. It's also why I uploaded pictures of the plugs so the condition could be seen. I'm not an expert, but they don't look the greatest IMO.

 

You're very welcome for the reply and it is my pleasure to help out in any way I can.
I think that you and I are both in agreement on the plugs. They do look like they should after those miles so things look good there.
