Spark plug NGK or Champion
spark plugs every 30K with NGK IKR9J8(Iridium plugs better than stock also used on high HP builds). I don't care that the manufacturer suggests longer intervals but i know my engine is healthy and runs almost like new.
NGK spark plugs feature trivalent plating. This silver or chrome-colored finish on the threads is designed to provide corrosion resistance against moisture and chemicals. The coating also acts as a release agent during spark plug removal. NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without lubrication or anti-seize. Anti-seize can act as a lubricant, altering torque values up to 20 percent.
My 500 sport rocked copper cores good for 30k and at 38k, when I bought it, was misfiring like mad and stumbled a ton at startup, swapped $14 a pop NGK Iridium IX Plug Number DCPR7EIX and runs like a dream
Get ngk cold start and gap them to .28? If I remember correctly for stock ..don't just drop them in
I ordered NGK plugs gapped to factory spec (.032). I didn't pre-check them, but I late went back and checked them and they were all in spec.
replace the plugs with NGK only... I did this on 21 cars and every time the car started working as a new one. All cars were Audi of course.
I just changed all four NGK platinum spark plugs on my soul. My car’s driving good. No engine skips.
I replaced the OEM plugs with NGK, they lasted about 15,000 miles. Burger Tuning told me that 15k is about all you'll get out of NGKs in these cars.
Get rid of those ASAP. These are prone to breaking their ground straps. Myself and many many others have fell victim to this.
Champion are the only plugs I’ve had the ceramic crack on, so no more Champion for me.
