NGK double platinum are the best spark plugs to go with and they are the OEM plugs as well.

just use the plugs which are designed for your engine... there is a reason why your engine came out of the factory with a specific spark plug.

NGK Laser Platinum (PLFR5A-11) are OEM/OES and what you should use. Don't bother with anything else.

NGK Iridiums are great with the VQ35 since they last so long.

Best dte my 4AT Maxima showed on a road trip was 502 miles. Never took my 6MT, but I am sure it would have done better on the freeway. In town, I was getting about 350 miles before I got under a quarter tank.
