Spark plug NGK or OEM Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Spark plug

I had a 2012 Passat I drove for 10 years (after buying used with ~20K miles) and only just replaced two weeks ago with ~125k miles. I had to replace the alternator at one point and some other general stuff like spark plugs over the years, but that was it really. Nothing super expensive.

Pros: nothing super expensive
Mileage: 125000 km

On Rock Auto Denso...Denso double platinum spark plugs for $4.32 each, but I would opt for the NGK Rutheniums for $8.32 each because they last longer and provide better combustion in these older engines

Pros: last longer, better combustion

NGK Spark plug

I went with the NGK rutheniums as they're also rated for 100k and were slightly cheaper on Rock Auto than the iridiums. Supposedly they maintain fuel efficiency longer over their life than iridiums

Pros: maintain fuel efficiency longer
Cons: no personal experience
Vehicle: Honda Fit

I run NGK on my 15. The car runs great doesn’t miss. I used OEM Denso 5339 but they lasted 10-15k but then I tried NGK 92182 and they’ve lasted bout 40k so I’ve had no issues with them both of them Iridium.

Pros: car runs great, no issues
Cons: Denso short lifespan
Vehicle: Ford Focus
Mileage: 40000 km
Part number: 7243

NGK Spark plug

For spark plugs I always used NGK because that's what Motorcraft actually uses if I remember correctly. Autolites are complete garbage and always fouled out the few times I used them.

Pros: reliable, better than Autolite
Cons: Autolites are complete garbage

I bought these when I did my last tune up and plug swap just to try. I noticed zero difference in power or mpg.

Pros: no difference in power
Cons: no difference in mpg
