Spark Plugs - Iridium vs. Platinum
Simple as the topic - which and why?
From what I can gather the OEM Replacements are NGK Platinums. (Ithink about

I'm not talking about Aftermarket ones guys. I'm talking standard NGK Iridiums or Platinums.
I found a thread on Honda-Tech saying it was the Platinum NGKs that were the OEM plug??
If its the Iridiums then my local Honda dealer is selling them cheaper than my local motor factors(motor parts store)? Hardly??
@kin670 - you don't need to gap the OEMs do you??

OEM are NGK Laser Platinums. You don't have to gap OEM plugs, they should come pre-gapped.
The iridiums work ok...but they won't give you anything extra unless you are turbo/SC. NA just won't see a benefit.
