You take that article as truth? I'd take that article with a grain of salt. I've had nothing but good results with Iridium & Platinum plugs for years.
Personally I couldn't credit an article that says "Platinum and iridium plugs are more likely to overheat, which causes damage to the plug components and can compromise the delivery of the spark to the engine block." and then later says "However, the overall longevity of these two types of metal is better than copper plugs." and then comes to no conclusion at all and refers you to your own personal mechanic (who's view is going to differ from the next.) -------------------- Mike W
