Iridium or Platinum Spark Plugs VS OEM?

**jyg1995** · November 5th, 2014 09:18 PM

Guys what is the benefits of replacing my OEM spark plugs with Iridium or platinum spark plugs? Is it worth the price? I replace those SP every 10k kilometers and I don't feel any changes every time I replace them.parehas lang ng nagamit at yung bago. BTW this is for my APV,G16A na matanda pa sa lolo ko ahahahahahaha.

Jyg, iridium spark plugs can last up to 40k to 50k Kms.

not worth it! stick to oem spec SP and base on my personal experience they dont last that long, sa civic ko isa pa sa cause ng erratic idling.

Who recommended changing the spark plugs every 10000kms?

Servicing casa ko po sir and it is indicated sa user manual, beneficial po ba na mag shift dun sa Iridium and Platinum? If yes which is better Iridium or Platinum?

Sa rav4 gen 2 (yr 2004) ko every 100k daw ang palit sa irridium, siguro sa Jan 2015 magpapalit na ako, 9 yrs is not bad kahit na mahal sha vs ordinary SP.

Ask your service advisor regarding change interval for Iridiums. If it is every 60k then its way cheaper. And fc is abit better with iridiums. Tested this with a 2.7 fortuner.

Thanks manilablock and stockengine.

Another question sir,which brand is better NGK Iridium or Denso Iridium?

**StockEngine** · November 6th, 2014 02:14 AM

I prefer Denso. They have an office in Banawe. They have a complete catalogue for all vehicles. They are professional(they answered all my questions and showed and gave me the corroded copper plugs lol) and offer free installation. I tried looking for NGK Fortuner-specific spark plugs. It was difficult to find.
