I replaced the spark plugs a few weeks ago. I went to Advanced Auto and got these plugs Spark Plugs - NGK Platnium BKR5EGP7090 (It came in a yellow and gray box). They were only $3 dollars per plug. I keep on seeing people on here paying 3 times a much for the same type of plugs. Am I using the right ones? Or is there a different number for my 1999 Maxima?

 

I paid $1.98 for each of mine.

BKR5E-11

 

I paid about 12 bucks a plug for my ngk OEM plugs. "Double Platinum"

PFR5G-11

Expensive yes... why... idk but they are the oem part and I dont want to go cheap on plugs.

 

Does anybody use the same type plugs that I have? Just wondering, after doing the tune-up got a slight knock, one that was not there before. Just wondering if i am using the correct plugs or not...

 

I dont c that plug number on the NGK website as plugs available for our car. I don't know where your getting it from, it doesnt exist in ngks database.

 

I just changed mine yesterday, bought the NGK Laser Platinum (OEM) for about $10/ea from Advanced Auto. My old plugs still looked very good when I yanked them out, only had 40K miles so I think they should last much longer, but I did it anyway.

 

It is below, the G-power Plat. Thanks for letting me know about the NGk website. Now i know i have the correct one in there. These are the right plugs for the 99 Maxima... i guess

They are correct plugs, but they just don't last as long as PFR5G-11.

 

I have never heard of anyone on this website using those plugs. I wouldn't use them.

 

I use BKR5E's..

 

I put a set in last month. The Max runs great on 'em.

 

If the Lasers are good for 60K, How long for the G-Powers?

 

NGK Japan's website says that they are same as conventional (copper) ones.

 

i've shopped around and is not a person who would pay the most for something i can get cheaper....i jsut winded up goign to the dealership because it was about the same price..i would of saved around $7 total if i ordered from a website....

 

anyone used the ngk iridium plugs instead....ive heard a few people say they arent good, with no explaination as to why they arent

 

I had a buddy tell me the other day that copper core are better performance wise, they just don't last as long.

 

I use the NGK Irridiums, have for quite a while, and they a doing just fine......

 

FYI: Making the thread title bold won't attract anymore attention.

 

It got yours. Too bad it did not work though.

 

Thanks for the post, makes me feel a better about putting them in.

 

No prob...... The G-power plat has a thinner conductor than the more expensive Laser plat. As a result, the G-power is rated for about 30K mi. as opposed to the Lasers 60K. but within it's rated operational life, I think it's performance is as good as it's higher priced sibling.

 

Talk to Dave at Garrands Nissan, OEM NGK Platinums for $8.25.
