Autolite Spark plug

I've been running autolite in pretty much every domestic that comes through my shop for years since they’re usually the workhorse for Ford and GM tunes. Also, I haven’t seen any dip in the plug quality lately so that's a good sign. The iridiums are still pulling clean gaps right out of the box.

Pros: clean gaps, good quality
Vehicle: Ford

Autolite Spark plug

Pulled the spark plugs and #3 has burnt away the centre electrode. Plugs aren't all that old. Plug brand is Auto lite. Any ideas on what may be the cause?

Cons: center electrode burnt away
Vehicle: Nissan

A quick search shows that autolite spark plugs don't seem to perform well in modern vehicles, you might have to go for a higher quality closer to OEM quality plugs.

Pros: higher quality, OEM quality
Cons: don't perform well

Autolite Spark plug

Most Asian brands are pretty picky about spark plugs. You put Autolites in a 70s malaise-era Ford - not in a modern, sophisticated, computer controlled, turbocharged Honda.

Cons: picky about spark plugs
Vehicle: Honda

Autolite are garbage plugs. Get denso or ngk plugs and gap them accordingly before installation. You can see signs of blow-by at the porcelain.

Cons: garbage plugs, signs of blow-by

I agree with everyone saying NGK but I would also like to recommend you do not buy an autolite if you need a substitute, they have horrible quality control.

Cons: horrible quality control

Autolite Spark plug

I have a 3.5 ecoboost. All 6 of my Ford plugs failed because of cracks. I replaced them with AutoLite iridium XP5863. They are all still going strong after over 50k miles.\n\nThe Ford plugs failed with a cylinder misfire error code. The engine would also bog down under havy accelaration

Pros: still going strong
Cons: cracks, cylinder misfire
Mileage: 80467 km
Part number: XP5863
