Subject: Nice job Robert! Just my 2ct here Bosch and NGK are both OEM in ETK Author: homerraas as Edwin™ : 12208 posts Posted on: 2008-10-28 05:14:48

also it's strange that sparks in the US have a replacement time of 100k.
Hier in Europe and in TIS it quotes 60.000km so that is 38k miles.

IMHO for a part that is so important for fuel usage and smoothness of the car why wait so long.

I put new sparks in my car (non OEM) 20k miles ago, I bought the NGK when I was in the USA and going to put them in this week.

$50 (with 10% discount) it is a cheap job and save fuel, I change my sparks each 25k miles.

Once more just my 2ct.
