Default Iridium Spark Plugs

Are the LS1/LS6 spark plugs the same as the LS2? I am looking to swap out to the NGK or Denso Iridiums.

If I am not mistaken the C6s' LS2 comes with Iridiums.

yes they are Iridiums, at least in the c6.

you could change them out to whatever you prefer but the Iridiums that come with the car are very good.

Default These are suppose to be good for 100,000 miles?

How about the NGK's? Those are cooper core and won't last.

What brand are they? Are they U Groove design? Save me a trip to the garage, pop the hood, get my tools...da-da-da.

I discovered my wife's Sienna van has iridums too, but not the "Premium" Nippondensos that are U-groove design.

I think the C6 plugs are made of unobtanium; last forever.
