Spark plug NGK or AC DELCO

My personal experience is that NGK brand for any type of spark plug is superior to others in all vehicles. I use the NGK iridium plugs in my Rabbit and my Honda cars. My older Miata had a wasted spark system and required a change interval of 30K miles, regardless of the plug, so I used the NGK copper plugs in it and there was no difference in performance at all.

I've been running the oem ngk's with the is38 and have never had an issue. They are gapped a little tighter per APR's recommendation but that's about it.

Ended up getting NGK.

I did the plugs around the same mileage in my 2014 CX-5 (2.5 liter), last April at 65,000 miles. Used the comparable NGK Laser Iridium plugs. Mine had some carbon buildup but all in all, they probably could have went longer.

I use the NGK 1675 and have and factory black coils and haven't had an issue. I have had issues with with other brands.

NKGs are the exact same plug just different label and cheaper, and are much better than the stock plugs.

On NGK s website it says laser iridium (the oem ones) are good for 100k miles.

So far, the OP is on to something. I’m using these plugs and that are great. Next I’m going to try the NGK ZFR6T-11G Copper Nickel. These are OEM for later 2.5 motors. I have early 2.5. I’m curious how these slightly bottler plugs will run and especially since I run premium at all times. I’ll report back. But good find OP. These work great.

NGK literally welded a platinum bar to the ground electrode. Is it going to be really butt dyno noticeable? Probably not. But at least it should last at least twice as long as the BKR7E-IX, since I've noticed after 20,000 miles, my mpg goes to crap. The projected square platinum electrode means wear resistance on the ground electrode, like the factory laser platinum spark plugs (PFR7S8EG) having a platinum wear disc on the ground electrode.

Subaru's like NGK (OEM) spark plugs and O2 sensors, respectively. They run poorly and will even throw codes if other parts are used.
