Spark Plugs

According to Carfax & miss yesterday, my sp. plugs are 17,442 miles old. 5 yr.s & 10 mo.s on a Hot-Tuned 2015 2.0 L F-56. sure seems to be a good place to start.. Who's got the best deal on NGK Iridium plugs ? So far, I found $22.50/a unit delivered

Now, instead of jerkin' around, I went 2 miles down the road & paid $119+ for (4) NGK Laser Iridium plugs . Yeh, $30.00 per item. SILZKGR8B8S Stock # 94201. THAT, & a fresh battery for $170 from Amazon, changed out by Mini for $50 & registered by my Bimmerlink & Dongle I'll be caught up. I think that $220 beats the *** out of $482.82 with minimum effort. . THEN, I have years to find cheaper plugs IF it can be done..

I was going to respond and say don't try to get a deal on real NGK plugs, because I've seen counterfeit ones on Amazon and the like. I always spend the little bit extra and buy from either NAPA or NGK direct - https://www.ngk.com/spark-plugs-ngk

Yep watch out on NGK on amazon and ebay. I heard about that. Also just to let you know most plugs that are Genuine MINI are now Champion (France) Plugs. NGK had major supply chain issues right after covid and some plugs were out of stock for like half a year. I think thats why so many fakes entered the market.

I like, considering the fact that I = water/methanol injected to push out of stock block by Renn Haus of Sarasota 300 flhp/ 247 whp & 354 ft./lb.s Torque . I have no room for counterfeit ANYTHING.. Ima a 70 yr.old man & I'm built for comfort, not for speed. 6yr.s/ 18,000 mi. can be lived with NOW that I know a good Ball Park Figure to keep in mind. I am & will be a sponge, absorbing data my entire existence. There's something about a buried 160 mph Speedo & say, 30-120 mph like a Top-Fuel Dragster that gets my attention.
