rider Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Factors normally affecting (reducing) spark plug life tend to be larger gap giving a longer spark and fuel ratio giving a leaner hotter burn. Platinum plugs for the Supra were spec 60k miles change interval, I think 5k mile intervals for iridium probably means throwing away a lot of useable plugs. My car runs 330bhp at the drive wheels and I've replaced the plugs twice, once recently (in terms of miles rather than years) with the car at 117,000 miles.

Boyne Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 So are you saying the copper plugs will last 2.5k, given they are running perfect when installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Copper plugs were an every other service item back in the day, the day being the 70's. So typically 10k - 12k miles, I'd say go platinum 60k mile interval like Toyota intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
