WHAT A BETTER SPARK PLUG
NGK OR BOSCH
WHATS RECOMENDED BY NISSAN

 

Better isn't the right word. Maximas are tested with NGK so to get best results out of yours, use NGK. I have switched.

 

NGK is best

 

Nissan recommends NGK Platinum sparks, but their is nothing wrong with using the coppers as many can attest to.

 

NGK only, you'd know that if you read the FAQs and used ctrl+F and typed in NGK. bosch will prematurely wear on you, sometimes less than 10,000 miles.

Anything that came with NGK plugs from the factory will never run its best on anything but NGK's...period. It doesn't matter if its a weed wacker, motorcycle or a car....the rule applies and you should live by it.

Within the NGK line there is lots to choose from. I am running Gold Power platinums...a poor man's platinum plug admittedly (around $3.50 each shipped for bkr5egp). I sold my last max with 30K on them and they were still good, so not sure how much longer they are good for....perhaps 40K rather.

yep... using NGK platinum - bkr5egp. $2.19 at NAPA here in GA.

 

since there are several classes for NGK platinum. which one is our.

 

If you want to replace the plugs, and be worry free, get the OEM NGK plats. I don't like the deep channel were the plugs sit. Even with a magnetic spark plug socket I worry about something failing in or the plug cracking while removing them, plus I don't like threading plugs in blind. The less I need to change them the better.
