famaya26 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I went to Napa Auto Parts and asked for pricing on sparkplugs. Got quoted 3.88 ea. for NGK G Force and 8.98 ea. for NGK Iridium IX. Which do you guys recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famaya26 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Is it hard to replace them. Ive heard they can be a pita! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No DRFT Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Oh yeah, it's a pain in the ass. You can spend your whole afternoon doing it. Make sure you check the How-to on this. One thing for sure, do not remove the plastic brittle ass clips. They will break. I have no control over drippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted July 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 2, 2012 Get four of these: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/NGK-SILFR6A-Laser-Iridium-Spark/dp/B001MU5JKI]Amazon.com: NGK (7913) SILFR6A Laser Iridium *Spark Plug, Pack of 1: Automotive[/ame] The difficulty of replacing spark plugs is blown out of proportion as long as you have several ratchet extensions, universal joints, a spark plug socket, and something like the drill attachment in the pic for the really tight spaces (great for seating the plug on the back driver's side). If you don't have the tools, don't bother. You'll get frustrated as hell. Or just go by the tools--they'll pay for themselves with this job and you'll have them for the future.

BlazingAsura Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Stick with Platinum or go with OEM like No DRFT says. There's no need for iridium spark plugs due to the fact that iridium is for more performance oriented vehicles that are levels above our subies. Not to mention it's a waste of money. Also, do not go cheap and get the regular copper ones. They'll do more harm than the 2 bucks you'll save is worth. Stick with platinum or OEM and you won't go wrong. Good luck replacing the spark plugs yourself. I've done them on an SVX and I wouldn't want to do it again if it didn't cost so much to pay someone to do it.

You don't know what you're talking about. OEM plugs are iridium, and the one's I linked to are the OEM plugs.

BlazingAsura Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 My apologies, then. I've always been told that usually OEM was platinum, never iridium. "What's God, if not the spark that started life?" ~ Last Ride of the Day by Nightwish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellyssian Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 If you don't have the tools, don't bother. You'll get frustrated as hell. Or just go by the tools--they'll pay for themselves with this job and you'll have them for the future. Also, if you're going to buy the tools, buy quality. Picked up a a 3/8 drive u-joint at the local hardware store just for the plug change, and it took all four plugs out, got two in, started to fall apart a bit on the third, and completely crumbled on the fourth.
