I changed out iridiums on my daughter's 2004 Malibu Maxx, those plugs looked GREAT for 110,000 miles, like new !

Replaced them with GM Iridiums.

Many use copper plugs because they have proven to be good.....they are not expensive....and it is probably not a bad idea to change plugs every 20,000 miles or so.

I use the NKG TR6 which is one step colder than the NKG TR 55 : I use it because my motor is modified and has N20; gap .35

If your engine is stock, the NKG TR55 copper plug should work very well.

wanted to start a little poll on what you have on your car, and if you had both, which you prefered.

I'll most likely just go with the TR55s, but I'm curious what others chose

Also, what gap are you running? .40? .50? .55?



eta: so much for the poll. it didn't work lol

I also wanted to ask about the E3s and the NGK TR71IX
