I am doing 60 000k’s service soon and I reckon I’ll ditch them

The handbook says to change them every 120 000 k’s but my car is almost five years old and idles in heavy traffic heaps

They are 11 bucks each from holden but  am also looking into NGK iridium.

I am pretty sure ac delco are iridium too

U don’t need that iridium bullshit. $3 ngk’s do exactly the same job.

Just bought a set of ngk iridiums. Less that 100 bucks and dont need to worry about them for another 5 years. Cant be stuffed doing it too often with copper ones. The plugs are not so easily accessible on these as they used to be on old v6’s.

btw. The iridium ones are the only option in ngk catalogue for my car. No copper plugs
