: Those plugs say they resist fouling but I have yet to see that as fact.

: I buy Platinum plugs for most of my cars just because they seem to last longer. I dont know for sure because I tune my car up once a year regardless.

: Some say platinum plugs last 100,000 miles. I think thats BS. You should get a tuneup every year because plugs are not the only things in a tune up.

: There is no real advantage using Iridium plugs except that maybe they last longer. Still not 10 times the amount normal plugs do. But they are 10 times the cost!

- I have tried a whole bunch of plugs on my nissans (4 of them) and the best ones are the regular NGK resistor plugs (OEM) Change them every year n/m Dave (91 SE 98 I30) 13:17:19 9/15/2002 (4)
  - That's for a VG engine. VE is much more picky than the VG... I recommend going with some sort of platinum plug, but NGK at $10 each is overkill. nm Matt (93SE) 21:03:41 9/15/2002 (3)
    - I'm using Bosch Platinums right now and I'm able to get good track times with it. n/m Aaron (92 SE Auto) 21:28:23 9/15/2002 (2)
      - I thought general wisdom had it that the (OEM) Plat.Lasers were best? n/m Bman (92 SE) 13:28:07 9/16/2002 (1)
        - They are probably the best... and the most expensive. n/m Aaron (92 SE Auto) 17:41:17 9/16/2002 (0)
