Denzo Iridiums are the way to go IMO. 100k interval.

Silver is the best electrode material followed by copper. Those fancy metals like platinum and iridium are purely about extending the replacement interval, but actually don't conduct electricity or perform as well as silver or copper.

You can find online a decoder sheet where you can figure out a Bosch alternative to the oem plugs. Hex size, temperature range, reach, shielded or exposed electrode, resistor or not, and electrode material are all determined by the letters and numbers in the plug number.

Did I mention Iridiums work just fine for 100k? ~$7 each and work. (I've seen them go 150k and still look fine in LS motors!)

... I think too many people just like changing plugs! LOL

handbook says every 4 years, don't want to keep them in too long as they could seize.
