Hi..I have a 99 Civic ex and does anyone knows what kind of spark plugs 99 civic ex have installed. Are they OEM or OEM platinum? Which brand spark plugs are the best?

 

if im not correct. NGK platinums are OEM. and if u were to replace, use the aftermarket NGK copper or even the V?

No, they do not come stock with platinums.

They come stock with NGK V-Power copper plugs.

Go pick some up at Schucks/Kragen/Checker/Advance and gap them .044 .... it'll cost you all of $7.xx

 

Run NGK's they have alot of good things peolpe say about them.

 

anyone has a Honda manual who can give me the part number for the stock NGK spark plugs?

You don't need them. Go to an autoparts store and buy NGK V-Power for your car. They'll have them. The stock honda ones cost 3x as much, and they're the same part.

 

Hey Eran.. How sure are you they are NGK V-Power installed in my car right now(99 Civic EX 4dr)??

The reason why I'm asking is beacuse if I have NGK platinum I don't want to put in lower grade spark plugs NGK V-Power.

You really don't know anything, do you?

Platinum is a crock of ****. It really is. They say it lasts longer, it doesn't. They say it combusts fuel more efficiently, you won't notice. They say it ups your horsepower. That's a lie.

Take out your spark plug .... if it looks like this:



You can save yourself some money and buy what Honda uses for $8.

If it doesn't, you can stop listening to me .... and you can go pay $5.99 per plug for platinums.

 

Listen to Eran, he knows his ****. Even if they did improve efficiencey and duration of life, why would you spend the extra $15 dollars or so on plugs that really won't do **** on a stock motor?

 

OEM honda ignition is very good. Just get the coppers like Eran said.

Gaining efficiency/power by sparkplugs is a myth.

The factory spark is plenty enough.

 

Alright..Thank you guys and Eran for explaining. I will go buy some NGK V-Power spark plugs

Yes he should be hit with an extendable baton.

He was trying to upsell you a product.

Yes he's wrong.

Just because he works at advance auto doesn't mean he knows his ****, any idiot can work there.

****, I was offered a job there. Need I say more?

 

It took 4 advanced auto dumbasses to not figure out how to swap in spark plug wires in my moms v6 infiniti.

I had to drive 20 miles to the store she was at, fixed it in 5 minutes and told them they need to reconsider career choices.

And I was 17 at the time

 

The Owner's Manual for the 1998 and 1999 Civic list the NGK Part No. ZFR5F-11, which is the NGK V-Power.



This is also the same as listed at San Leandro Honda site:

the stock is NGK # 2262 and they are like $1.98 a piece i believe

 

Hey tech8..where did you get that manual? Do you have a copy you can send me?I really need one

 

For $10 I can. J/K

Here's the link, it's free for everyone:

thanks man..this is what i needed it. It's a bummer the manual doesn't let you search for stuff but worth it..

 

just buy the OEM NGK, there the best!!!
