I tried to search, but I couldn't find the information I'm looking for. What part number are the platinum NGK plugs that I should get? I called the dealer and this is the part number they gave me: PFR5G-11. If these are the correct plugs, can someone tell me where the cheapest place to get them is? I have been told as high as $17..........EACH!

I pay $1.88/plug for my Coppers.

 

You have the correct spark plug number.

 

How many sets have you bought?

I'm still running my original spark plugs @ 64K and would be on my 3rd or 4th set of coppers by now, given they don't last as long and copper oxidizes more.

I get 30 mpg on the highway.

I know someone with 90K on his original platinum plugs (99 Maxima) and he has no intention of replacing them anytime soon.

More than 1.


But @ $12/set.. I don't mind changing them, it's fun and you get to see the condition your engine is running in. I've changed them @ intervals ranging from 40k, 20k, 30k, and no difference.

 

no need to spend a but load on spark plugs unless ur seriously tuned.

just simply go to ur local auto parts shop and pick up the NGK copper plugs. should be like $10+ for all of em

 

i got ngk one step colder for 35 dollars for all 6

 

Don't get platinums, go a ebay and buy Iridiums. They last longer, give a better spark, and cost less. No reason why you should have to use platinums. BTW, the cheapest price for OEM plats are no less than $11 apeice.

 

NGK Platinums $57/6 plugs!

iridiums suck

 

coppers for me, 2 step colders though.

 

cheapest not always the best

 

there just bloody spark plugs, all they need to do is just ignite the air/fuel mixture, its not like there gonna make a huge diff on our car b/t the coopers and whatever

 

Zomgz Stickies are non existent? Questions not been asked or answered a million and 2 times?


WOAH

Hey glenmoormax,
Why 2 steps colder? I run the 6935. How many miles do you get with your coppers?

 

how often do you have to change the sparks

 

Mine is due and I was just going to get the OEM. Any reason not too?

 

Any word on the Bosch 4 spark plugs? They are supposedly very high performance.

 

Junk.

jUST GOT THESE FOR MY UPCOMING TUNE UP THOUGHT THEY WERE GOOD AFTER READING OTHER SITES NGK GP platinum 7090 BKR5EGP 2.00 AND CHANGE. Could not find the copper? but are these correct and they come gapped at .44 thanks

 

What kind of plugs do you use and where to buy?

 

NGK Coppers.... BKR5E-11... Local Nissan dealer.

 

So they are the OEMs?

 

OEM Coppers.

 

Thanks! OEMs was my choice for replacement anyway.

 

Just give the dealer the part number for coppers (NGK V-Power BKR5E-11) and tell them you want 6 of them (if you tell them its for a Max then some dealers might keep pushing to buy the plats instead since our cars came with plats and not copper)

Bosch for some people they run fine and for some they dont, but why bother wasting time with those when NGK are better for our engines?

 

My platinums were on sale for .16 cents at Advance Auto in Massachusetts. Good deal!

 

so how often should they be changed??/

 

Cu or Pt?

IMO, Pt 60k, Cu 30k... Some people leave the Pt's in there for 100-105k, and I've left my Cu's in for 45k...
