I'm guessing you are just using standard cheapies. Why not save the time and run iridum plugs? You should really only have done maybe the original set by the current kms!

Notice any difference?did the gearbox at about 20000km with Castrol Transmax Z and yes the gearbox was quieter and smoother spark plugs every 10,000kms? I'm guessing you are just using standard cheapies. Why not save the time and run iridum plugs? You should really only have done maybe the original set by the current kms!no I don't use standard plugs I do used the iridum plug they still break down and are cheaper then coil packs Steve Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74012-servicing-your-car-and-the-cost/#findComment-1092810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Member 250 Member For: 14y 7m 20d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 29/03/11 05:31 AM Share Posted 29/03/11 05:31 AM oh ok, seems a bit too frequent given 120,000 is the first recommended change (from memory). Maybe halving that is still ok but I'd say there is a problem if they are dying at 10,000kms. Coils dont' cost that much more a set than plugs. 130,000kms and my plugs and coils were still 100% fine, changing both to brand new (genuine & ngk) made zero difference (I just figure it should be done before spending coin on a dyno to run into possible dramas).
