i just changed 4 new pcs of bosch super 4 at RM50, so far satisfy with the
performance, better pick up. heard that brisk is good? and there are some
expensive spark plugs (platinium, iridium etc...) in the market but the
price is bit high for my budget and dun really know how it helps on the
vehicle's performance.

waikitfire,
If you drive a PV6, you want to get spark plugs that last for a very very
very long time coz it's a big hassle just to change the plugs. Not as
simple as the Inline 4s.

BTW, the 4 'heads' on the BOSCH sparkplug is only used one at a time. The
current will choose the path of least resistance between the 4 electrode
and spark will occur only on one electrode, not all 4.

Increasing the number of electrodes will just make the spark plug last
longer.. If the electrode fails the spark will just jump to one of the
other three..

No spark plug manufacturer will guarantee that their plugs can last 100K
km. If you can get two-thirds of that, you should be satisfied.

I have used the NGK platinum for my Wira 1.8 DOHC BKR6EVX for more than 3
years after changing up from 5 heat range and they were much better than
the hotter plug. Before that I was using ordinary NGK plugs.
But when I switched to Denso Iridium K16 it was a revelation. But the gap
had to be reset to 0.9mm from the factory's 1.1mm. Several gaps were
experimented including the stock 0.8mm gap. It was changed at 53K mileage
two and a half years ago. The car is now at 80K km.
The plugs were bought in Singapore for S$100.00. Recently the same shop
had a sale at S$88.00 and I switched to Iridium K20 a colder plug. I have
yet to try this new plug as the K16 seems to be working fine. The car is
silent and smooth and hitting over 200kph is not a problem even though my
car is now more than 7 years old.
Denso Iridium has a range of plugs to suit your car. JMYeo
