[DMCForum] Re: Platinum Plugs

[tmpintnl@xxxxxxxxx]

Dave - I've been using the +4 plugs in Winged1 for a couple of years 
now (~ 20,000 miles).  I am very happy with them.  Of course, I've 
always been happy with platinum plugs in general, despite what some 
of the "experts" say.  I talked to one professional mechanic who 
said that the platinum plugs were a very bad idea, and should never 
be used.  I asked him why he felt that way, and after a great deal 
of hemming and hawing, he finally admitted to me what his issue 
was.  The problem is (according to him) that the platinum plugs last 
so long and are so reliable that people start to forget about 
maintaining the rest of their cars, and ultimately allow the overall 
condition to deteriorate because they aren't in there on a regular 
basis changing the plugs.  (huhh?)  So, the basic problem is that 
they are too good.  BTW - I am using +4's in all of my vehicles now, 
with no issues.  Back when I was driving a Honda, I routinely got 
40,000 miles on a set of platinum plugs.  I would replace them 
eventually just because I felt guilty for leaving them in for so 
long, although they usually looked fine.
