vs
Spark plug Autolite or OEM Subaru
Reviews
These are good plugs Autolite my mechanic recommended them to me good spark and seems like my truck is running smoothly and there a good price.
Pros: good spark, running smoothly
I am running platinum Autolite plugs in my 2.3 rwd and don't regret it
Pros: don't regret it
Changing my sparkplugs for the first time (32k miles, yes it's early but I got a great deal on the plugs) and found that the stock plug in cylinder 4 actually had a ground electrode defect and was significantly thicker than normal. The car runs stronger than it ever has as this was likely causing extra timing pull.
Pros: car runs stronger
Cons: ground electrode defect
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 51500 km
In my 206 classes we run this autolite sparkplug because it’s required.
My understanding is that we switched because people were buying plugs in bulk and looking for ones with the lowest internal resistance believing it would effectively advance the engines timing. Supposedly these autolite plugs are much more consistent.
Pros: more consistent
I bought some Autolite double platinum spark plugs because they were on sale at the Napa where I live but everybody I have tried asking to help me do my spark plugs has gawked as soon as I say "Autolite" and tells me that I'll have nothing but issues with those plugs and that "they're only good for Fords" basically.
Cons: potential issues, only good for fords
Vehicle:
Nissan Pathfinder
Not saying the auto lite won't work, but you're definitely not going to get 70k out of them.
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
That auto lite is no goood
Cons: poor quality
Make sure if you purchase spark plugs that it is not Auto Light. They tend to mess your vehicle up more and not work well with Toyotas.
Cons: mess up vehicle, not work well
Don't use AutoLite plugs in this car, they are known to have issues.
Cons: known to have issues
Also, Autolite is extra terrible. I would have done anything else.
Cons: extra terrible
