Spark plug Autolite or OEM Volkswagen

I put Autolite Iridium plugs in my '06 N52 20k miles ago because of a crazy sale/rebate. It runs as smooth as a new one.

You're on the right track- replace those worn out plugs. Pre-detonation started on my '18 at 30k. Increasing octane rating to 93 worked up to 58k miles. $50 for a new set of [Autolite Iridium XP5363](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078KWTCF2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) resolved this problem.

I've ran Autolites on my racecar that runs in the 7's for 20+ years with no problem. They are the only thing I trust at the moment

I used them in my 2007 Tacoma with no problems. Left them in for several years.

I put autolite's in my 2010 V6 and they've been perfectly fine.

I just installed a set of Iridium XP 6203 in my Optima 2015 and they're working fine. Gap was incorrect on 2 of them, but was easy to fix.

Local mechanic used an Autolite plug, not Honda-recommended NGK. Misfires stopped for a month, then happened twice more. I have since discovered this brand does not run well in a Honda engine.

I changed my plugs to autolite because I had never heard anything bad about them. I replaced them after 3 weeks due to misfires, put another set of autolites in and it ran fine for 2 weeks. Started misfiring again and swapped in a set of NGK's, no problems since.

I would never install Autolite on any car, definitely not the WRX.

Out of all my years replacing spark plugs. The only times I got bad spark plugs that misfired right away is the one time I ordered a fake set thru ebay(my fault for not doing my due diligence) and a set of brand new auto lites from autozone.
