Iridium or platinum plugs for cold climate?

Different type plugs wont make a difference, replacing old plugs will,
I see a noticeable difference on 40000+ miles when I change them. Best
is be sure your thermostat is good

Stubby if you changed yours and checked your timing I bet youd be
getting 28-33, I get 28-36.

I looked for Laser Iridiums on NGK's site but they don't have them for
my 99 Camry 4cyl. Looks like the Iridium IX for me. Thanks for the
helpful info, John.

Hey, what happened to the Laser Iridium IFR6T11 (Toyota #90919-01210)
that used to be listed as a replacement for the BKR6E series of plugs?

But rockauto.com still sells them for $7.64, cheaper than the $8.63
plats and not much more than the $6.58 Iridium IX.

You'll have to ask NGK about this.

Also cleaning the caps electrodes and replacing the rotor helps, if you
cant aford new wires and a cap. 5-30 synthetic and a good battery with
clean terminals will all help equaly more when its cold out.

No, you got the message wrong, not to mention your calculations below.
That's the problem when jumping in half way and not understanding the
discussion.

My known preference for iridium plugs and the price comparison merely
points out that people should get the Laser Iridium plug if available
(as aqlumen understood and looked for), and that a better plug is not
necessarily the most expensive plug, whatever the difference may be.
