Yes iridium.

RM140 is Denso only. You using Denso right? The original Nissan plugs are NGK and I am having a very hard time finding the Denso equivalents of my Sylphy plugs. Do you have your plug model? If it's the same then I want your help to get RM140 plugs in future! Cuz 200 is just stupid.

Platinum is like 60k km, Iridium 80k, Iridium tough 100k.

Mine was because some how it shorted, so high end it misfire. It was too expensive to maintain if they blow like that so I switch back to platinum. I think bro. Izso also blew one or two sets of his iridium also....

Iridium long last is a lie. A bloody lie. When I first bought the car it just reached 100k km so I changed the plugs. 35k later they failed already. Original nissan NGK iridum plugs. Iridium tough from Denso damn hard to find in KL and quite expensive. My latest set lasted 6 months and wasted because of misfiring.

Check engine light will ON if spark plug blow...?
Just my Noob question.

Depends on car. Nissans - no. Protons - no (depends - if cable spoilt then yes) but Audis yes.


Renesis : btw, you asked if iridiums made a difference - yes it does. It's noticeably smoother to rev and not as rough. But that's about it. No performance gains.

That is why, I use Platinum only. My other cars all use normal plugs because easy to remove and change so no need tahan lama. Moreover plugs needs to be remove and clean. I remember at mechanic there got one customer, many years and many k km the plugs got stuck because plenty carbon build up

If so, then I guess maybe it is better to change new sets of normal plugs for few times than relying on one set of expensive plugs.

No matter what, a new set of normal plus should be better than an expensive plug that has reached more than half of its lifespan isn't it?

I thought can cross reference spark plug model on web. Can google for result.

to make it even more confusing, my NGK plugs (stock ori) is LZKAR6AP-11 plugs which doesn't exist on your cross reference link. It's actually similar (but not the same) as DENSO FXE20HR11 which is supposedly the same heat range but different gapping.

How laaa

And the supposed correct one is FXE20HR11 which is impossible to find in KL and expensive as hell in SGP

Shittt.....
Any plug specialist ....

Re-gap yourself lol

What is the expected mileage for iridium again? I remember is something like 100k km? But I believe they won't last so long as sifu VR once said.

Well the original plugs that came with my Livina from new only lasted 55k km. However the HKS Iridium on my Mark X is already about 80k km now and still going fine so far.

No, I bought the original Nissan plugs from NGK Japan like this:

That means Nissan's Iridium plug is not as reliable as HKS Iridium plug?

Well maybe. Anyway the HKS plugs were also much more expensive when I bought it at about rm90+ per piece almost 5 yrs ago (not sure now how much). It says the plug is double Iridium though.

Both 11 is 1.1 right? Why different gaping?

If it is worth the premium, I guess it is fine to pay that much for those spark plugs. They do seem reliable.

After this I will just try the Denso Iridium which is the std recommended one for my X and see how the comparison with the HKS set. It should be much cheaper.

Denso Iridium should be like around RM60-RM70 a piece?

HKS ones not some plug manufacturer make for them?

Yeah mostly around that, but the guy where I bought my Livina plugs said he's selling for only around rm180 for 6 plugs! Not sure if really iridium ori or he misunderstood me.

If not mistaken it's made by NGK also.
Btw my bad, it's not double iridium but iridium (center electrode) + platinum (outer electrode).
