I'm having my spark plugs changed and just wanted to make sure im getting the right plugs. NGK platinums (.044 gap) part # PFR5G-11 is what comes in our cars right?

Also, I recall reading that copper plugs are better but just don't last as long. Is there really any significant difference and would anyone recomend copper over platinum. How big is the price difference and how long do coppers last?

Any input would be helpful. I've never changed plugs before and search is down.. Thanks.

 

Coppers should be atleast $5 cheaper per plug depends on brand and all. Im not 100% sure what the part # is but im sure the NGK double platinum plugs are whats required. Dont go copper unless your goin nitrous (colder plugs) its not really needed. I think the copper plugs will last anywere from 10-20K miles in perfect condition. Depends all on how you drive, how much hp, ect...

 

Btw if you get the plugs from the dealer its $11 each.

 

thanks, thats what i needed to know. I will just get some ngk plats form pep boys or something.
