Good thing I went with the NGK Iridiums!

 

Yes there was a nice flame war in there. Ignore it.

I was in a hurry and that was the best post about it I could find. I will be researching this more to have some proof that NGK is the way to go other than horror stories and nissan dealer techs coming up with BS.

 

This seems to come up at least once a week.......

 

hahahaha.... Ya, actually those are supposed to last longer than the Denso Iridiums (they have a thicker electrode tip -- less energy efficient but more durable).

 

Looking forward to what you find! With all the kicking and screaming on this topic, it'll be good to have some resolution.

I think the thing to do would be:

1. Get the electrical specifications (e.g. capacitance, normal conductance, etc.....) for Denso Iridiums, NGK Platinums, NGK Coppers, and Bosch Platinum +4s (to start)
2. Compare. If they're wildly different from each other, we'll have to see what the factory specs are for the ignition system.

If the electrical characteristics of those other plugs are the same as or very similar to the NGK Plats, then I think we can be sure that the whole NGK-Plat-only thing is BS. If they're not the same but still within the factory spec for the ignition system, again... BS.

And if they're out of spec, I'll be the one on the left --- >

 

LOL d00d, you gonna become the Spark Plug Guru? Nice posts, lots of info.

 

Quit sweating the small stuff Dog Food and let it go! I'll stick with the NGK platinums.
