Hi Lanny, I thought about using OEM plugs but I don't want to have to change them every 30000 - 40000 miles or so. I was hoping the titanium plugs would last maybe 60000 or so. Am I wrong in thinking they will? > > > Anyone using bosch platinum in their miata? Are they any good? > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > change them every 30000 - 40000 miles or so.

Considering the price they'd have to last a lot longer to be worth the money...

It's probably not a bad idea to remove and replace spark plugs that often even if you put the old ones back in, just to keep them from seizing in the head. "Regular" plugs last an awful long time with modern ignition systems; it's not like the bad old days of "points, plugs, and condenser" every 15k. Don't wait 50k miles to replace your air filter element, though. >> > Anyone using bosch platinum in their miata?

They could, theoretically. Reviews about fifteen years ago ascribed potential advantages to their multi-electrode design under long-term, stressful conditions. I used to use them in a TR-8 and a Formula Ford, but it was probably pointless expense, since I changed plugs so often anyway. But if you don't pull your plugs occasionally to inspect them -- say at least every 15K miles -- then you're regarding your engine as a throw-away, and that could get expensive. -- Larry |
