The Denso spark is the original factory setting. On manual it says you can use FXE22HE11 or FXE16HE11 to replace the FXE20HE11. I just use back the same original part, $110  + $30 labour.

Could you explain why you got a shock, when you see the spark plug? Any reason why you change the spark plug before 100K?

HI could you let me know where to bought the plugs and where did you get them replaced?
Sounds cheap. or is it all workshops around that price for labour?

I called TCM 2 weeks ago and was quoted $160 for 4 spark plugs plus another $120 for labour.  Your price is attrative, care to share.

I got some engine vibration at idling and also at 1800rpm.  When to 2 workshops and still cannot get the problem solve. Tried Caltex 98, carbon clean ..etc also the same.  Hope by changing spark plugs will solve the problem. 

Btw my mileage is 87K, 5 years old Latio.

I found it from this forum, just changed spark plug and EO not too long ago.

http://www.mxtradings.com/

call them before you go.

I should had done the  throttle body cleaning first (they can do but they don't have the computer to tune your engine) then change spark plug plus EO change. When they remove the cover, I can see thick sticky slug on the internal wall. If I have sone the throttle body cleaning then can inspect how effective is the cleaning process. If not so clean still can spay some solvent on it.

If you use Vpost or travel to US then can buy from there ~USD50+ per set. Labour cost is S$30 for latio.

What exactly does the electrode look like? Do you mean that the electrode is gone when you mentioned burnt out? Quite scarry when you used the term burned out. I used mine till about 95K km and the plug was still OK. FC is still about 12.75km/L after changing.

check out Sung Beng Auto.  They charge $108 for change of spark plugs.  If you are doing servicing with them, there is no additional labour charge incurred for spark plug.
