Spark plug NGK or OEM Subaru

NGK Spark plug

I had to put a new spark plug in mine after only a few hours of use. It had some China branded in it and I switched to NGK. Also propane creates a hard harder to jump spark gap so you generally have to narrow the gap a tiny bit from typical specs when you’re going to run propane. Since I only run propane I went down a little on the gap and it runs flawlessly. I optimize the gap width by seeing which widths responded best to a sudden surge load without hesitating.

Pros: runs flawlessly, optimized gap width
Cons: harder to jump spark gap

NGK Lazer Iridium Plugs is what I got to replace them in my car. I believe those are what Mazda OEM plugs are, but it’s just cheaper to buy the NGKs from a part store.

Pros: cheaper than OEM, OEM quality
Vehicle: Mazda 3

Pick up some genuine Audi R8 Red-Top coils (not kidding, much lower failure rate) and some fresh NGK Iridium spark plugs.

Pros: lower failure rate

I had this very same problem where on my 07 V6 the acceleration and power was off. I had replaced my spark plugs with NGK Iridium plugs and after dealing with the horrible performance I decided to change them out for OEM platinum (copper) plugs. This made a huge difference and could immediately tell a night and day difference. Regained the torque and power that was missing.

Pros: Regained torque and power
Cons: horrible performance

NGK Spark plug

I do NGK 6510 one step colder. I do 0.025”-0.026” gap. I had a shop do my last set since I didn’t trust myself. He accidentally did 0.022” and I put them in and they’ve been fine. The other set is 0.018” and idk if ima put them in. Gotta change the one step colder NGK’s at around 15-20k miles. I usually change mine when I start seeing high spark retard. I’m BT 93/E40 with aux.

Pros: perform fine, good lifespan
Cons: change due to spark retard
Mileage: 15000 km
Part number: 6510

I bought 2 sets of NGK Irridium plugs from Amazon sellers that turned out to be counterfeit. The electrodes were completely worn off with 60k miles on them. They are supposed to last 100,000 miles. The cars were misfiring and had spark knock.

Cons: electrodes worn off, misfiring
Mileage: 60000 km

I learned that proper, very hard to tell, NGK knock offs even existed after I was bitten by fake ones off Amazon. The porcelain around the center electrode broke off and went through the engine.

Cons: porcelain broke off
