Spark plug Autolite or OEM BMW
I did absolutely nothing apart of spark plugs and oil change . I had E90, 188k km, 330d until it meet it's end when I crash it to railguards. it never showed me any lights or anything so I would say around 60-80$ tops.
Pros: reliable, no warning lights
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 188000 km
I've been running autolite in pretty much every domestic that comes through my shop for years since they’re usually the workhorse for Ford and GM tunes. Also, I haven’t seen any dip in the plug quality lately so that's a good sign. The iridiums are still pulling clean gaps right out of the box.
Pros: clean gaps, good quality
Vehicle:
Ford
I almost went 200000 km on my bmw between spark plug changes, and the motor runs so much better after. My fuel economy almost doubled, and performance was a night and day difference
Pros: motor runs better, fuel economy doubled
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 200000 km
I have a 3.5 ecoboost. All 6 of my Ford plugs failed because of cracks. I replaced them with AutoLite iridium XP5863. They are all still going strong after over 50k miles.\n\nThe Ford plugs failed with a cylinder misfire error code. The engine would also bog down under havy accelaration
Pros: still going strong
Cons: cracks, cylinder misfire
Mileage: 80467 km
Part number: XP5863
I did my spark plugs on my 335i f30 and I can say one thing. $400 for labor on spark plugs is treason. Shit should take those "experienced" mechanics maybe an hour.
Cons: expensive labor
Vehicle:
BMW
It\u2019s true that you dont\u2019 get quite as good performance as with the Bosch, but this is my second set of autolites and I\u2018m over 200k miles already.
Pros: high mileage, second set
Cons: not as good performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 321869 km
Dont use autolite garbage, this isnt uncommon with cheap plugs. Get NGK Iridums
Cons: cheap plugs, not uncommon issues
Pulled the spark plugs and #3 has burnt away the centre electrode. Plugs aren't all that old. Plug brand is Auto lite. Any ideas on what may be the cause?
Cons: center electrode burnt away
Vehicle:
Nissan
A quick search shows that autolite spark plugs don't seem to perform well in modern vehicles, you might have to go for a higher quality closer to OEM quality plugs.
Pros: higher quality, OEM quality
Cons: don't perform well
Homie, do not run Autolite plugs.
Cons: do not run
