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

These are OEM plugs without the VW branding so cheaper, I run these in my stage 1 Mk7 GTi and they are good just need to gap them down quite a bit as out the box they are I think .32? I change them every 15,000km or every 2nd oil change

Pros: good, cheaper than OEM
Cons: need to gap them down
Mileage: 15000 km

It\u2019s true that you dont\u2019 get quite as good performance as with the Bosch, but this is my second set of autolites and I\u2018m over 200k miles already.

Pros: high mileage, second set
Cons: not as good performance

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
