Platinum and iridium. Sounds like a commodities market. It is, but it’s also what’s under the hood!

Today we’re talking about metal. There are different types of metal used in spark plug electrodes. Whether it’s nickel alloy, platinum or iridium, different metals bring different characteristics and uses to spark plugs. Watch the latest installment of Counter Intelligence to learn more.

I have heard Nickel Alloy has the tendency to gum up. I prefer Iridium for heat resistance.

Is it a myth or something?

      Great Experience with Subaru Parts Pros, Greatly Recommended!!!
      By Athrelle
      I recently ordered some OEM parts from link hidden, please login to view, and I was really happy with the whole experience. Their website is well-organized, making it easy to find the exact parts I needed for my Subaru. The prices were competitive compared to other sites I checked, and they had items in stock that I couldn’t find elsewhere.
      Shipping was faster than expected, and everything arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. The parts were exactly as described, and I had no issues with fitment. Overall, it was a hassle-free experience, and I’ll definitely be ordering from them again in the future. If you’re looking for genuine Subaru parts, they’re worth checking out!

      Silverado spark plug wire
      By Ryan
      Hi everyone,
      I have a 2019 Silverado 5.3L, and I've been looking up spark plug wires on RockAuto. I found two part numbers listed:
      1. Part number 12716289, which is said to fit 2014-2024 Silverado 1500.
      2. Part number 9241829A, which is said to fit 2000-2022 Silverado 1500.
      Since these two parts overlap for the years 2014-2022, does this mean that the spark plug wires for Silverado 1500 models from 2000-2024 are interchangeable? 
      Additionally, I searched on Amazon and found that these part numbers seem to be the same as
      link hidden, please login to view and 9748HH. I appreciate any insights or experiences you might have with these part numbers.
      Thanks!
