NGK G-Power Platinum spark plugs are the best single platinum spark plugs at an economical price. G-Power plugs feature a fine wire platinum center electrode and a trapezoidal cut ground electrode that offers increased durability, improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions, faster starts and quicker acceleration over conventional nickel spark plugs. An excellent upgrade for vehicles which used nickel alloy spark plugs originally. For better performance consider upgrading to a NGK Iridium IX plug. For even greater performance consider upgrading to a NGK RUTHENIUM HX plug.

Great Plug At A Great Price!
What can I say? NGK makes a great plug. I've used NGK plugs in various cars over the years. Heck, I even use them in my mowers! I can just tell the difference the NGK makes over stock or other plugs. The engine always seems to run just a wee bit smoother. I put stock Champions in my Wife's '05 Dodge Neon SXT. She knew I changed the plugs, but she came home from work saying her car just didn't seem to run as good. Put the NGKs back in and she was happy again. Either the V Power or G Power plugs are great to use. You don't need iridium plugs unless your car came stock with them, or you've done engine and ignition mods that warrants their use. Save yourself a few extra $ and try these...

seems ok
Looking to tune up truck These plugs seemed to do the job and at a good price. I also changed the fuel filter and spark plug wires. I plow with this truck (2000 silverado)and I need to keep it running and keep the gas mileage as good as possible. The truck drinks gas while the plow is on and every little bit helps. So plan ahead and do these kind of jobs now so you're not laying in the snow and mumbling to yourself or shouting profanities to the neighbors! Good luck and only time will tell as far any improvements go!

Nice Plugs, great value
Staff Reviewer -
The part looks well constructed. The gaps were slightly off on a couple plugs, but gaps should always be checked before installation. The engine runs smooth, but then again I never let the engine tune deteriorate to the point of poor gas mileage or rough running. The auto maufacturer recommends changing plugs at five years regardless of mileage.I've always found that NGK are excellent plugs. The price is very reasonable, very satisfied at this point.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
