Another Spark Plug Thread

[tetrahydro]

I know alot of you guys are against spending the extra money for iridium, but I like the fact that they will last a while. Does this look like a good deal?

not bad for 8 plugs...

why not use the correct plug for your engine at half the price?
plus, the people that made your vehicle didn't put the "longer lasting"
plug in the engine for a reason. they probably know best. yspert

Well, I googled them and they go for $6.58 low price. So, this guy's price is "normal" within range. I just replaced the plugs in my echo to iridium but used the Denso and they were $16 each at Autozone (Southern California). The NGK Iridiums were, I think, about $6 or so, but I just got the Japanese brand. My 06 AC has iridium plugs in it. You should check with Autozone or Pepboys, etc. 1st and see how much this model plug is---why wait for shipping if you can get it immediately? Make sure they are good for your truck..don't believe anything you read on ebay, double check! Also, I don't see how the guy claiming that the normal price is $149...that's way too much. I would just get them at an auto parts store so if you have to return them, it's no big deal.

just because OEM puts a certain type of anything on any vehicle doesnt mean its the "best"

if OEM used the best, we'd all get AMSOIL synthetics for all the fluids.. but like everything else, it costs money.. mfr's save money by using simple parts...
