Other than spark plug, how many type of plug does a car have for its engine ? What about ignition plug? How long can it be sustained ?

The Iridium Tough suppose to last 100k km...... smile_shock.gif

Ya this iridium long life aka Laser iridium claim to last 100k km's , and irdium ix bout 35k -40k km;s.

I just changed my Original Honda Long Life plug to ngk laser iridium (same) at close to 80k Km's . It had not been clean before although I hv inform the SC ..But after seeing the mechanic to replace the plugs ..Then I know why . So many things to remove in order to change ..So I dun think they will clean for u even u requested it.

Mine , Nology Silver spark plugs last only 18K mileage , I expected its lifespan to be around 25K- 30K mileage coz as advertised said to be more lasting . Wonder why how come such a short lifespan ???? Anyway its performance was damn good , can really feel the difference ( mine fitted with the Hotwires as well ) .

The V6 are really not service friendly. There are others which are 4 cylinders but also difficult to remove the plugs.... smile_blackeye.gif


EJ20 got to remove alot of stuff on the left and right side of the engine bay before reaching the plugs... smile_blackeye.gif

VG30DETT got to loosen engine mount to get to the last 2 plugs on the V6. smile_blackeye.gif
