Spark plugs - places to buy from

[Manilablock]

naka specify na din minsan sa owners manual yung ordinary and iridium plugs equivalent. sa mga older cars yata puro copper plugs lang nakalagay.


sa factory installed iridium plugs, 100k km replacement. but for aftermarket iridium plugs, way lower. cause iba yata spec nung OEM plugs.

Thanks for the info, so pag ung iridium plug ay tapered ung tip hindi ito tatagal ng 100k.

Yup, mostly copper electrodes. The manufacturers manual usually state 3 brands of choice, in my case its either Bosch, Beru, or Champion.

i think it has something to do with the tip. 0.7mm yung factory installed long life plugs, while 0.4mm yung mga aftermarket plugs. I think the platinum tip also helps extending the life.

the Denso Iridium Tough series is the long life type.. up to 100,000 km before replacement

when i inquired with Riken Motor Sales, they only have Iridium Power in stock. they dont have any Iridium Tough

mukhang rare nga availability ng Iridium Tough, even in Amazon.

Wow 100,000 before you change! That's like 7-8 years. I never realised that some plugs can last that long. And maybe the European car manufacturers specify copper since it still conducts better than other metals.

The CX5 has OEM iridiums. Manual says change at 100k.

sa mga nakagamit na, pa-verify nga if this is what genuine Denso Iridium Power IW16 (Made in Japan) looks like. silver color kasi ung body sa box. parang bronze color naman yung body ng actual. i will buy this from Amazon.

IMO mas sulit pa rin gamitin ang copper spark plugs. DIY magpalit ka ng 12 times or more vs. Iridium price 1k plus. Lagi pa bago ang spark plugs mo free from carbon builds up. Saan ka pa... hehe
