Default OEM SPARK PLUGS OR NGK

well its time to do the 60k maintenence stuff

so alot of people tell me to get the $15 per plug OEM plantinum one's

but i have heard that many use the $2 per plug NGK non platinum's

what do you guys think is best?

i know i will have to replace the ngk ones faster but thats no problem.

If you are down with replacing your plugs every oil change then get the regular $1.99 ones.

Otherwise the platinum ones last for about 30k.

NGK Vpower plugs will be fine. non platinums, work just as good, if not better, than my stock plats and the current Iridium IX that Im running. Cheap too, $1.68 at my local advanced auto. Only downside is they probably dont last quite as long as the plats or iridiums. Just make sure you check them frequently.

I just replaced my plugs for the first time and I replaced them with Denso Platinums from Autozone. They were $5.99 each. part number PK20PR-L11.

The "stock" ones that I removed were the exact same plugs, same number and everything. So... stock can be had for much less than $15 each!

the NGK-R's have a one year warantee, after couple months, get some residue from your exhaust, smear it on the tips of the plugs and tell them they are shot. and you get a free set. (well you first gotta pay for the new ones to come in, then you take your 4 plugs and receipt and they refund your money)

Autozone has denso platinum replacement plugs for ~$7 each...

I swapped em at 60k miles and havn't had a problem since. They did seem to smooth the idle a bit.

Stupid Question, but here goes.

For the 60k mark, what needs to be serviced?

TIA
