Default Looking to save $$ on my interval service.

Hi All,

It's been a while since I've posted.
I'm due for the 80,000 mile service on my A4 Q 1.8 Avant. While I don't mind having a tech replace the V-Belts and so on I'm looking to save some money by doing the nickel and dime stuff myself, air filter, pollen filter and the like. I'm looking for advice on spark plugs others have installed. I'm finding a number of choices, Iridium - Platinum - regular, from Denso, Splitfire, NGK, etc. What have others used and how satisfied are you the performance?

Thanks,

GG

I use NGK BKR6E coppers. Change them with my oil.

Default Copper - BKR6E. Platinum - PFR6Q

More frequent changes with Copper required. We recommend between 5k-8k change intervals.

Platinum can go longer, generally 20-30k on changes.

Both are great plugs to consider. We carry both, check out our site.
