Default Denso or NGK?

Hi All,

I know that Accord V6 uses NGK laser platniums and I've heard people saying Denso Iridium is another alternative. But I was wondering which 1 is better or both is equal. Thanks in advance, any replies is highly appreciated.

I'd say they are comparable to each other; the problems with honda recommending the plug life at 105k miles 1. the plug threads are stuck in the head by then;2 the plug gap will be extra large by then, I've seen misfire codes at 90k miles

I see thanks, because I just changed it to the Denso Iridiums. NGK Laser platnium not many places carry them and say they would have to pre-order them. And I didn't want to wait.

I usually use NGK's but this time around I could only get Denso's for my gf's accord. They seem to work just as well.

For some reason, my car gets slightly better gas mileage with Denso's over NGK's in the first 5-8k miles with the same gap. Denso's are 10cents cheaper than NGK's so it's allll good (the regular...not iridiums/platinum)

I can never seem to find Denso's at Autozone when i want them though!
