I'd rather spend $17 each change and have to do it every two years. Now that I've done it once, it's going to be simple next time.

Those were in my '00 as well, and I believe they were also in my dad's '01.

There's a lot more "jap ****" in these engines and their various parts than some people want to admit, I'm sure!

Iridiums will last a long time with minimal gap erosion,if you don't change your own it
may be a better choice on a na car.
