Spark plug Autolite or BRISK
For what it's worth, here's my 2 cents on plugs and wires. I've read several threads here that indicated something along the lines of, \"YOU'D BETTER D@MN WELL USE NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING BUT OEM BRAND PLUGS AND WIRES!!! THE CAR IS TUNED AT THE FACTORY USING THESE. IF YOU USE ANYTHING ELSE, YOUR CAR WILL RUN LIKE SH@T AND YOUR FUEL ECONOMY WILL BE TERRIBLE. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!\" Fast forward to a few months ago when I had a breakdown an hour from home and was trying to figure out the problem. Because I was on the side of the road, I had to Uber it to the nearest parts store and take what they had on offer. If I remember right, the plugs were Autolite and the lightning hoses were Carquest (don't quote me here). No Bosch, no Bremi, etc. I was nervous about it, but hey, the car's 20 years old, so I wasn't worried about squeezing out the MAX performance. Guess what? It runs exactly the same as before and gets the same gas mileage.
Pros: runs exactly the same
I just did mine not too long ago, replaced with Brisk ER12S. Didn’t need a coil puller tool, just had to be careful getting them out. Warming up the engine is helpful too. Otherwise an easy job.
Pros: easy job
Cons: be careful getting them out
Autolite is the brand I got through rock auto.
Pros: cheap price
The plugs are great-- zero issues, can't tell a difference.
Pros: zero issues, great
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 5000 km
Ive been using the Brisk USA Premium Racing Spark Plug 14mm... yeah I get it they are kinda expensive when it comes to spark plugs at little over 13 dollars a piece but trust me they are worth it, ive never had good luck with any of the spark plugs listed for the 2.5l, specially not with what I've done to it, iridium plugs, platinum, copper, Nicole, even ruthenium plugs.... but these Brisk plugs are killers, ive never had my car run this well before, even my throttle response is better and the heat range is correct as well..
Pros: killers, car runs well, better throttle response, correct heat range
Cons: expensive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
autolites 3923 platinumsgave me the same mpg as the expensive NGK platinum.....
Pros: same MPG as NGK
Cons: expensive
Part number: 3923
There seems to have been quality issues with those for quite a while. I couldn't count how many times we removed fairly new Autolite spark plugs and replaced them with a better brand to fix a misfire.
Pros: fixes misfire
Cons: quality issues
I wouldn’t put autolite plugs even in my lawnmower. NGK or Denso only.
Do not get Autolite, I've seen them cause trouble and issues in Honda engines.
Cons: cause trouble, issues
Vehicle:
Honda
I wouldn't do the Brisk plugs if you're not tracking it hard. They susceptible to fouling up unless you drive it like you stole it every time.
Cons: susceptible to fouling up
