BEST SPARK & GAS MILEAGE
I use these plugs on my everday family van (07 Chrysler Town & Country Touring). I have compared this plug with that of E3 Spark Plugs. The E3's work as advertised but only for a certain period of time before they give out and start giving you problems and unless you know how a car works or performans and notice that it's a faulty spark plug you will not stop to think that it is the spark plug. The E3's caused several different new cars from Suzuki, Ford and Chrysler to hesitate or not fire correctly or at all and that is properly installed. Stick with NGK V-Power. They give you no problems, the same if not better performance and two times cheaper than the E3's.

Wouldn't buy again
I have grand caravan 2001 and got these spark plugs & wires too! They made my car worst off then my original champion that came factory.. that haven't replaced for 18 yr... my car has 176,000 miles.. the gas mileage got worst , it was misfires ect....I hoping to like them since when I purchased them they had limited lifetime warranty .. so now Having to exchange them ....but I will go back to champions as the original OEM, and pay the difference.. sometimes when u go cheaply u get what u pay for.. but bcz of warranty , I took a chance... plus now online it shows 60 warranty compare to when purchase them under the lifetime.. was shocked why they changed warranty? 🤔. .. I did talk to associate and dealership they said bcz they Ngk I bought was low end it has Nickel alloy and copper in them, said I needed the double platts or Iridium spark Plugs.. So thank God it under warranty, so other reviews on other dodges like mine.. you lucky they work for you..

Ordered these as part of a tuneup on my daughter's 1999 Honda Civic LX sedan. They are the same as the ones I took out of it. Don't forget to use some anti-seize on the threads, especially for aluminum heads. After the tune up, the car performed like new.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

NGK V-Power Spark Plugs
Staff Reviewer -
I installed a set of NGK V-Power sparkplugs in my 1996 GMC Suburban (5.7L V8, gas). I noticed an immediate improvement in idle smoothness, acceleration, and overall performance. I expect to see increased fuel mileage as well. I would recommend NGK V-Power sparkplugs as a replacement for any OEM sparkplugs. They are a high-quality product at a very economical price.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
