Re: $12 Spark Plugs!
I would stick with the NGK $12 plugs (but you can get them from any place
that sells NGK, www.oreillyauto.com has them for $9.89). There is a non-platinum standard electrode plug for about $2 a piece, but I've not tried them in and cannot recommend them. NGK 4363 is the retail part number for the pricey ones and I think 2262 is the right one for the regular plugs.

Re: $12 Spark Plugs!
Would anyone know if the iridium spark plugs produce any noticeable
improvement in engine performance in a Honda Civic 2001, over the stock spark plug? thanks.

Re: $12 Spark Plugs!
i put those in my '98 civic. They wore out after
40000kms. Its like the electrode deteriorated, so the gap was way too wide, and that heated them up even more, and they just plain wore out. They had the regular nice reddish colour, so no probs in my engine... Some pretty hard drivin on them though, Oklahoma City to LA in less than 15 hours.... thats a little faster than we drive up here in canada, eh? t

Re: $12 Spark Plugs!
But did they feel like they were performing better than the stock plugs?
Anything noticeable when you were driving? "disallow" <loewen_t@yahoo.ca> wrote in message news:81c9b0f2eb2542e975e5ce1f18fa216f@localhost.ta lkaboutautos.com... > i put those in my '98 civic.
