    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.

    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.

    Be careful sa pagbili ng Iridium. Denso Iridium spark plug is rated for 20k km only.

    Denso Iridium Long Life (OEM) spark plug is rated for 100k km. kaya lang, hindi nagpapasok ng Denso Iridium Long Life ang local distributor.

    NGK G-Power Platinum spark plug is rated for 48k km. NGK G-Power Platinum is available in most auto supply shops so ito gamit ko.

    NGK Platinum IX spark plug is rated for 65k to 80k km.
    NGK Laser Platinum spark plug is rated for 120k to 160k km.

    I wonder if I should replace my spark plugs already? My FB will be 5 years old in July but only at 60k kms and it starts well and the engine runs just fine. Pwede ko kaya sagadin hanggang 100k kms or till tell tale signs appear? Btw, what kind of syptoms indicate need for sp replacement, if ever I push it past 5 years?

    If your manual states 100k, and it's still running ok, di pa kailangan.

    Even if it is rated for 100k it is good practice to visually check your spark plug for wear or any other indications. Sometime worn plugs initially produce very subtle manifestations medyo keen ka dapat. Without symptoms or looking 60k in a honda fb your sparkplugs might still be in fine condition especially if you use good fuel.

    Yes may fake na NGK. Denso im not sure.

    While iridium might be considered "better" than ordinary plugs there are some cars that just require and perform most efficient on ordinary copper plugs. Check your manual nga.

    For which car ba? Yung mga typical Iridium for NA engines mga 600 to 700 each. For turbocharged engines, mas mahal (1k to 1.5k) pero up to 120k km yung life.

    Yung NGK Laser Iridum na OEM plugs for the EJ25 WRX/STI (ILFR6B) $11.60 lang from Amazon or $12.03 from NGK.com. Shipping from Amazon is $13 so parang isang extra spark plug, total gastos = P2,950 for a set of four plugs, landed na dito.



    Never needed to change them though. I have them inspected every year or four oil changes and still look like new even 14 years later. I'll try to dig up pics from my last inspection but they literally look brand new.

    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.
