spark plugs

Postby red riding hood » Wed Sep 17, 2014 12:10 pm

Hey Just had my 100,000Km service on my 2.5 man wagon ...mechanic did oils ,gearbox oil diff etc and belts and did plugs what Im wondering is-
Is it ok to use iridiums in a non turbo? My car feels different since he did this service ( bit jerky not smooth ? ) that is what he used he said they are better than standard plugs ? Is this right ? I do heaps of highway kms and he said I would get more life out of them than standard ones ..He is a good mechanic and does a good job normally just since this service my car seems abit different and I assume its the plugs he used.

Gap might be set for a turbo (0.8mm) instead of the 1.1mm for n/a.

Iridium plugs are designed for engines where plug access is a prick and provide longer life, thats it
Speed doesn't kill its the sudden stop that does.

The spark plugs in my MY09 2.5i Liberty Wagon are NGK Platinum Plugs.
First service at 100,000km.
PFR5B-11 if I remember correctly.

So, your post facelift liberty with VVL may have never had "standard plugs".
It is not imaginable that an Iridium equivalent of these are not compatible.
