Spark plug Autolite or OEM Mazda
My RX8 also got pretty piss poor compression numbers. The only time it struggled with a start up was with literally the original 20 years old plugs it came with and I had to do multiple hot starts. It still started and carried on.
Pros: still started and carried
Cons: piss poor compression numbers
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 30000 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
At around 120,000 KM plan for spark plugs. It's easy, especially if you get a 1/4" torque wrench and 14mm 1/4 deep well socket.
Pros: easy to replace
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 120000 km
I bought a 19’ Premium at 17 it’s a great little car beat the shit out of it for 4 years straight and it runs amazing still. Handles well in the winter as long as you have clearance it’ll get you there in one piece. Regular maintenance along with trans fluid change, spark plugs, brakes, diff fluid change. I’d recommend a cpo premium . Great value.
Pros: runs amazing, handles well
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I would recommend that if you get one do a full service fluid change on everything. Change the coolant, the trans fluid, diff fluid, oil (10w30 or 10w40, do NOT use the 5w20 reccomended). You'll also want to set aside $80-90 for new spark plugs, and upgrade the coil packs to LS coils from Bennet Built whenever you can. Coils need to be replaced about every 30k miles.
Pros: strong rotary, mechanically inclined
Cons: everything is breaking, plastics dry
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 73000 km
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
Most Asian brands are pretty picky about spark plugs. You put Autolites in a 70s malaise-era Ford - not in a modern, sophisticated, computer controlled, turbocharged Honda.
Cons: picky about spark plugs
Vehicle:
Honda
Autolite are garbage plugs. Get denso or ngk plugs and gap them accordingly before installation. You can see signs of blow-by at the porcelain.
Cons: garbage plugs, signs of blow-by
I agree with everyone saying NGK but I would also like to recommend you do not buy an autolite if you need a substitute, they have horrible quality control.
Cons: horrible quality control
Probably going to need to pull them again within a couple years. Autolites are the absolute worst sparkplugs.
Cons: absolute worst sparkplugs
