Re: Spark Plug preference
I use what my owner's manual recommends. In the case of my 91 Civic, they're NGK
non-platinum. (There might be one other brand recommended in the manual.) A dealer put platinums in my car a few years ago. I have since changed them out. I don't notice any better performance. I suppose the platinums might last longer, but IIRC from reading on the net it may not be enough to justify the higher expense.

Re: Spark Plug preference
My 91 Civic Si had a set of SplitFire plugs, then recently it started to
miss in low RPMs. I replaced them a set of Nippon Denso (non-Iridium 3808). $1.69 at AutoZone. Now it runs great and getting 31 mpg. Bosch are overrated when it comes to Platinum. I read somewhere a long time ago that the platinum they use is from recycled catalytic converters. If you need a hotter plug, I suggest the Denso Racing Iridium. Iridium is way better than platinum.

Re: Spark Plug preference
stick with NGK or ND.
save your money and use standard plug and replace every 2 yr. |

Re: Spark Plug preference
jjjsan,
i am curious, my 2001 honda civic sedan seems to be running fine, and in reading the manual it says that the first tuneup is not due until 110,000 miles and to replace the spark plugs then, and i got 50,000 miles now. Do you notice a difference when you replace the plugs, and how big a difference? tia, Fish On Sat, 27 Nov 2004 23:30:00 -0500, "jjjsan" <jjjsan_spam@nospamz.sbcglobal.net> wrote: >stick with NGK or ND. >save your money and use standard plug and replace every 2 yr. > |

Re: Spark Plug preference
I have just put NGK platinum's in my 92 Civic. They ran me about $2.50 a
piece (before tax) That and a new set of NGK wires set me up right... Brian "twfsa" <uksatw@qwest.net> wrote in message news:As0pd.5035$1t.3491@lakeread07... > Some swear by Bosch, others like NGK or a platinum what are your thoughts? > > Tom > > |
