Spark plug OEM FORD or Autolite
I have autolite xp in the van. $100 for 6 ngk, $90 for denso with a van with 250k miles. Everyone says there crap, but it runs great.
Pros: runs great
Cons: everyone says there crap
Mileage: 250000 km
My 2000 Ford Ranger with a 4-cylinder and manual is just about the simplest vehicle that could exist. SOHC engine, so not much that can go wrong in it. It's very satisfying to work on because you don't experience the shitty feeling of knowing you spent way longer on something than it should have taken.
Pros: simplest vehicle, satisfying work
Cons: spark plugs annoying to reach
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
I put Autolite Iridium plugs in my '06 N52 20k miles ago because of a crazy sale/rebate. It runs as smooth as a new one.
Pros: runs smooth as new
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 32186 km
You're on the right track- replace those worn out plugs. Pre-detonation started on my '18 at 30k. Increasing octane rating to 93 worked up to 58k miles. $50 for a new set of [Autolite Iridium XP5363](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078KWTCF2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) resolved this problem.
Pros: resolved pre-detonation problem
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 30000 km
Part number: XP5363
I just installed a set of Iridium XP 6203 in my Optima 2015 and they're working fine. Gap was incorrect on 2 of them, but was easy to fix.
Pros: working fine
Cons: gap was incorrect
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Part number: XP 6203
I purchased some Autolite XP Iridium spark plugs earlier this month and immediately installed them. Within a mile of driving, the car started shaking violently and the check engine light came on. I immediately turned around and reinstalled the old plugs and the problems went away.
Cons: car started shaking violently
During a 300 mile trip in 100 degree weather, my car decided to start shaking horrendously, and the check engine light started blinking. Ford Pass notified me of a cylinder misfire. Apparently the spark plug was missing a piece, and there was extensive damage. Metal debris throughout the engine, turbo charger, multiple lines and drains. Everything has to be replaced.. but luckily it’s all covered by the 5yr/60k powertrain warranty. Such a huge failure at 46k miles is disappointing. I love the car but definitely have trust issues now.
Pros: covered by warranty
Cons: spark plug failure, extensive damage, disappointing reliability, trust issues
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
Mileage: 74029 km

Cons: worst plugs on market
If you used auto lite spark plugs that is almost certain the problem.
Cons: almost certain problem
Vehicle:
