BEST SPARK & GAS MILEAGE
I use these plugs on my everday family van (07 Chrysler Town & Country Touring). I have compared this plug with that of E3 Spark Plugs. The E3's work as advertised but only for a certain period of time before they give out and start giving you problems and unless you know how a car works or performans and notice that it's a faulty spark plug you will not stop to think that it is the spark plug. The E3's caused several different new cars from Suzuki, Ford and Chrysler to hesitate or not fire correctly or at all and that is properly installed. Stick with NGK V-Power. They give you no problems, the same if not better performance and two times cheaper than the E3's.

Not the service I was expecting
The reason behind the 2 Star rating is because of the inconvenience of picking them up. The order was placed online at a AA near me, but for some reason it was sent to another store 25 minutes away. I called that store and he said the store where I placed didn't have them. I needed them so I made the trip, but later found out from the store I wanted them sent to originally that they did have them in stock and that the person should have walked me through how to cancel and reorder them to the correct store. Not sure I want use your online ordering again if this is what I have to deal with!! The product was fine....no issues there

Ordered these as part of a tuneup on my daughter's 1999 Honda Civic LX sedan. They are the same as the ones I took out of it. Don't forget to use some anti-seize on the threads, especially for aluminum heads. After the tune up, the car performed like new.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I recently purchased a few routine replacement parts for my truck to maximize my fuel efficiency, and get the most power I can out of it. Advance Auto parts made finding these parts quick and easy and offered to ship all items right to my front door for FREE. All items were exact fit replacement parts and easy to install. I would easily reccommend to all my friends and family to do the same thing I just did. In fact, next year, I will repeat my process and feel confident that it will be just as easy and rewarding as it was this time. ThanksDan
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
awesome spark plug
I recently bought a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer and it didn't have any take off power at all. I replaced the previous ones with these NGK's and noticed a serious amount of power. I will buy these again and again.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
