Iridium or Platinum Spark Plugs VS OEM?

[Lin Dan]

Platinum plugs ako. Mas matibay and better start up time.

Just use what is recommended. Iridium is required on my turbo engines.

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.

Agree.

I would get the Denso brand whether it's copper, platinum or iridium.

When I still had my previous Avanza, Denso copper plugs ang gamit ko for almost a decade. I usually prefer to change plugs every 5,000 kms since mura lang naman ang Denso copper plugs.

In my case, I'd stick w/ iridium since that's the stock plugs our n/a car came with.

W/c leads me to the question, isn't iridium the oem spark plugs of vehicles nowadays?

do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

Not all cars. Entry level models use regular spark plugs.

Longevity hehe

we are from a generation who used to clean and re-gap our plugs.
if the mechanic says the plugs are not worn, and are still good...

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.

May idea po kayo kung magkano ang genuine denso iridium at NGK Platinum spark plug?

NGK Platinum spark plug set of 4, sa altis and vios nasa 600 plus (basta less than 700)

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 bought a set of 4 plugs for the FA20 (XT) for around $40 in the US back in 2019. Better na yun kaysa 4k per set sa mga local shops or 1600 each from casa.
