Default NGK platinum VS iridium

I was ordering new sparkplugs and was about to order iridium NGK ...

sparkplugs.com has NGK iridium IX at ~8$ each...

funny thing is that the oem platinum NGK are ~12$ each

I thought iridium was the top of the sparkplug... I don't get why the platinum OEM ones are more expensive... Why are the OEM one so expensive? They cost as much as the freaking DENSO iridium!

glad to hear that, I ended up ordered NGK iridium too

at 8$ each it's a great price for iridium plugs... not sure the denso at 12$ are any different.

Now I need to figure out the simplest way to get to the sparkplugs, lol...

driver side looks easy... just remove the tube
passenger side is a bit more cramped... I think removing the fat wire in front of them will do it.

The platinum cost $13+ ea. ! Iridium's are cheaper for some reason. Even on NGK.com
