get platinums if you have money to throw around, or get NGK copper v-powers BKR5E-11 you can get them for $1.60 each at Strauss or Napa, youll have to change them every 30k miles compared to the 60k of the platinums, functionality is the same the change interval is different, $1.60x6 vs $9x6
you decide...

I was looking around on JR Nissans site and their's are only like $40 shipped (all 6) or something like that with the sale30 discount code. I don't know if their being sold by a dealer makes them good or not though.

for something like plugs, it is not worth paying the shipping and waiting on them when you can get them at a local store as stated above.

However, There is no need for platinums....really ever. You are just paying for a "new, cool idea" to say that you have platinum plugs. Copper ones are actually better conductors, not to mention that they are tons cheaper.

They are not hard to do so who cares if they are only supposed to last 30k miles. I mean, that is only paying $5 a year coming to a total of $20 for 60k miles. With the platninums, you will pay 3x that......you will pay $15 per year for the same four years or 60K miles. Do the math!
