I almost went 200000 km on my bmw between spark plug changes, and the motor runs so much better after. My fuel economy almost doubled, and performance was a night and day difference
Went in to find some non R plugs today. He popped the rabbit into the system and said "we've got Champion N11YC, non resistive in stock.
I got champion copper core for my 5.7 hemi which was what the factory had in it. I changed them at 68k and they probably could have gone another 68k they looked virtually new.Ran like a champ and I got them with rebates and at the end of the day they were 1.00 each.
I run Champion plugs in my Harleys. I have never had an issue with them and when I did try others, I never noticed any improvement over the Champions.
Champion are ok if you change them every 2000 miles, otherwise they tend to loosen up at the terminal and you end up having to retighten them on a rigid mount Harley every 500 miles or so.
In a pinch I use champions.
I dug factory installed spark plugs out of my recently departed E90... they looked like something from the stone age. 19 year old car, and from what I could tell, never had the plugs changes.
Cylinders 1-3 were misfiring. They couldn't get the spark plug out of cylinder 3 because the other dealership had over tightened it. They had to get a special tool to remove it. The tool BROKE because apparently it was so overtightened and mis-threaded. They finally got it out yesterday and sent the cylinder to the machine shop to get the head off. I just got word that there is a hole in the piston and the valve head is completely gone. They are saying now that it has nothing to do with the spark plug being overtightened. He asked about driving through water, and road conditions. It was a dry day. Not an issue. They said I need a new motor at this point.
But yeah, switch to another brand and stop using champions.
So Champion sucks, more like Chumpian.
