b2tf will correct me but I think the NGK BPR6EFS-13 for the 304 do the job... about $3.75 each in my neck of the woods.

That's what the NGK website comes up with but the Iridiums make no difference to the engine, so I have come to believe..

Yes, that's what they have listed on their website but you don't NEED to use Iridiums, the BPR6EFS-13 mentioned already are the correct gap etc for our Windsors and do the trick fine.

The TR55IX are the Iridiums; but really why would you pay $20 (retail) x 8 plugs for Iridiums, when you can get the BPR6EFS13's for $3.50ea (retail / supercheap)? Sure the Iridiums last longer, but considering you could do 5 sets of plugs for the same cost, who cares.

Just replaced my plugs with the BPR6EFS13s - thanks for the advice.
How often are you guys replacing these given the service manual would be based on the Iridiums?

I just changed a set of BPR6EFs on my ute that had done about 20000km.
They were past their prime but were not what you would call trashed. |
