Are OEM spark plugs better?
A quality OEM plug has a nickel-plated steel shell, as nickel is both corrosion resistant and unlikely to cause a plug to seize in the threads on the cylinder head. Many after-market plugs use a very thin nickel coating or omit it altogether to save money.
What’s better than iridium spark plugs?
Platinum holds its shape for much longer, so you can expect longer intervals between spark plug replacements. Most vehicles will last from 60,000 to 100,000 miles. The platinum tip has a higher melting point at around 3,215 F, meaning it erodes at a slower rate.
