that's why there a deal ....
the same Genuine DENSO Plugs W14EXR-U that you purchase from your local toyota dealer are still made in JAPAN , at least the last set i bought was ......
DENSO Corp. has moved it's world headquarters from JAPAN to Jakarta Indonesia as of the last year or so , so anything is possible on this topic
i personally
HUNT for the JAPAN made DENSO products like my Exclusive line of Factory Stamped and Embossed Cold Spec. / Saudi. Spec. heat rated Radiator Caps
there is a huge quality difference in the HEAVY DUTY and Metallurgy topics here ...
- the 2 epdm rubber gaskets are thicker and the metal cap itself is far far LESS Magnetic , this is because there is much much more Nickle Alloy infused with the carbon steel ....
- there STAMPED with the ND logo on each ear unlike the ones you can source from your local USA toyota dealer and come pre-punched with a retainer chain hole for the added application of a desired chain like all BIG cap used to have
i have reproduced the retainer chain feature and simply click snap it on the pre-punched factory JAPAN spec. Denso hole in the ear
the ND logo embossed in relief stands for
NipponDenso
this is a old skool reference they don't use much any more today ........
