Spark plug Champion or OEM Mazda

I always run champion platinum in the coil rail 4.0s. Sometimes engines are particular.

You can get the champion version of the RS7 plugs for less than $20 a plug and they’re working great on my car!

These were actually alright spark plugs. The ceramic is a lot tougher than normal ceramic, and the electrode is larger. They were marketed as 'truck plugs', but they're really good in old tractors and farm equipment. They last forever.

For spark, I wasn't sure I had the right plugs so I went with the OEM Champion plugs that were recommended in the Bentley. I checked for spark, no issues there.

Rx-8 in 3years just did maintence and ned sparkplugs 0 problems.

I'm pretty sure that modern Mazda's do do this, only not in the situation you're describing. They use it for their stop start system to save having to fit a beefier starter motor and what not, simply inject an extra dose of fuel and fire the spark plug to get the engine going again.

I once had to use 99 cent Champion plugs in my car for a few months when I was flat broke. They worked fine but didn't last long.

Side note, Champion spark plugs suck. Use them in lawn mowers.

Champion is shit for cars. Leave it for mowers and weed eaters.

I would return them and get Motorcraft anyway. Champion is garbage.
