Warranty Details (4 YR REPLACEMENT IF DEFECTIVE)
Platinum Spark Plug AP5224 is expertly crafted to deliver enhanced durability and performance for older engine applications. Featuring a platinum center electrode firing tip, it ensures quicker firing, smoother starts, and improved fuel efficiency. The platinum design prevents gap erosion, extending the service life of the spark plug, while the high alumina ceramic insulator provides superior thermal conductivity and insulation for added strength. Its multi-rib insulator effectively prevents flash-over, and the nickel-plated shell offers exceptional corrosion resistance for long-lasting durability. With a standard center electrode design and long projection, this performance-grade spark plug is built to optimize engine functionality. The flat seat type and nickel ground electrode tip material further enhance its reliability, making it a dependable choice for maintaining peak engine performance.

I am never let down by Autolite........
I would just like to say, that I use Autolite spark plugs in all my vehicles. I am never surprised by their performance, and durability. I would definately recomend, Autolite plugs, to all who read this comment. I initially tried these plugs, for price, and found out that they are durable and dependable as well.
Most Liked Negative Review
AVOID THESE FOR TOYOTA AND SIMILAR
In cars like Toyota which use one coil with two cylinders and "lost spark", AL single platinums quickly deteriorate and effectively become useless. The OBD will show a misfire code for a pair of cylinders first. The plugs are at that point unusable and good for the trash bin. I have read that some Fords show a similar result. If you want an inexpensive plug, buy simple standard copper core plugs - they will not last as long as the best but will not give you the headaches that the AL single platinums probably will.
