So I went to my local auto repair shop and asked for a tune up. They said it going to be $380! WTF! He said it expensive because the car required platinum plugs, is this true? Anyway I went to Kragens and bought the 6 E3 spark plugs (E3.48) for $36. Since the E3 is not platinum, will this E3 with DiamondFire tecnology works for 96 RL? Thank....

 

just get you some ngk platinum or iridium(if you diy) and call it a day.

i was never sold on the gimmicky spark plugs. i always thought if they were so good the manufacturers would've used them. especially when they all went platinum/iridium for longevity.

 

Ok I just returned the E3 spark plugs. Plan to buy the NGK platinum but it 12.99$ each. Damn I just get the Iridium for 8$ each lol.

 

Only difference is claimed milage.

the choice is yours.

 

get some NGK Iridiums and youll be fine...

 

there's 2 types of NGK iridiums.

the iridium IX's and the regular Iridiums.

IridiumIX is good for about 50-60k and the other ones are good for about 100k. The iridiums usually cost around 7 bucks and the other ones cost around 10

 

yeah u are right hatch. i forgot that there are the ix series and the laser series (i believe the oem use the lasers). i put ix's in my car when i bought it just to know a fresh set of plugs were in. they're good plugs and generally recommended for japanese cars.

 

same here. 50k isn't bad. I really wouldn't leave any plug till 100k though. While it will still work correctly it would just irk me that I'd need to change em out. Lol
