Thread: I'm bringing up the Spark Plug Debate

Alright, I need some help. I have been hearing that the TR6IX is the spark plug of choice, I know, but here is the problem. I have a hook up at Pep Boys and they cannot get those plugs. The offered me the NGK iridium platinum (part # 1465) This spark plug is normally $11 and I can get them for $5. That is just an example. Can you guys offer me some other options for great spark plugs or is the TR6IX the end all be all for plugs with this car. Help!

What is E3 @l67ss?

Don't get Platinum plugs either, I'm pretty sure these cars do not like the Platinum at all.

But then again, that's for the V6 versions though, I don't know much about the Ls4 platform.

@DanPrix i know our cars CERTAINLY need Iridium for sure! Platinum is a no go

E3's for us are fairly garbage. Go with what others have recommended. If you can't get them locally, order them online.

Can you fix the Houston stores for me? They don't seem to have anyone with a brain at the 3 around me.

Lol, It's all good. We call them for customers if we dont have it in stock and they cant wait for the parts to get there. Gotta love our discounts though!

How is the performance with these if you are using them? I have Bosch Iridium Platinum Fusions in right now. Haven't had any problems, but I want to put in what will be best.
Thanks

Yes, these are the ones I've put in my LS4. They are a lil bit colder plug, which help with any KR (knock retard) our cars have from the factory.
