Hello. I have a 2000 Corolla that burns oil and seems to be running lean due to the white on the current spark plugs. I have never seen a lean code come up though. My spark plugs I have now are shot and need to buy new ones.

My question is: do you think I should get cheap spark plugs (copper) because of this or get more expensive ones (platinum or iridium)? I’m not sure if the better spark plugs will even last longer because the car doesn’t run perfect. I was thinking platinum as a nice middle of the road plug so I don’t spend $40 on iridium plugs and they crap out in 2 years because of the oil burning.
