Spark plug BERU or OEM Subaru

Changing my sparkplugs for the first time (32k miles, yes it's early but I got a great deal on the plugs) and found that the stock plug in cylinder 4 actually had a ground electrode defect and was significantly thicker than normal. The car runs stronger than it ever has as this was likely causing extra timing pull.

im at 95k with the original plugs. no issues

I waited till like 100k to do my spark plugs on my 2013 Crosstrek, they were still good just not as efficient

Just traded in my 2015 Forester with 219,000 miles and the original spark plugs.

Normally that's a result of a failed spark plug seal. If you have no other problems I would put new spark plugs in it and check them at the next oil change.

I've been using beru rs7 plugs without any issues.

I ran Beru RS7 plus which are one step colder when I tuned stage 1 and they didn't last at all. Might have been under 10,000 miles. Recently went with NGK plus that APR reccomends for stage 2 and so far so good. No misfires since.

I swapped out the oem plugs for Beru rs7 plugs when I went APR stage 2 at ~3k miles. The car ran well. Fast forward to the present with over 18k miles and is20 swap, and I noticed a few stumbles at idle. Nothing major but I figured I'd change them since APR recommends 10-15k mile intervals (visually the Beru plugs looked fine).

Good luck doing spark plugs

a spark plug job on an STI can be a 6+ hour job :thumbdown:
