How miles before you change the NGK plugs?
Stripping plugs is caused by incompetence.
I've heard some reasons for using product "A" over using product "B",but that's stretching it a bit

There are beaucoup articles on spark plugs, I'm not talking salesmen tactics but the real nitty gritty. This topic is as bad as the oil topics. Everyone thinks they are the guru.

I use OEM, and change mine every 5k miles. Those fancy plugs on a stock engine do squat other than prolong the time for changing. Do your homework...lmfao

That last sentence negates your others depending on which plug you buy of course.

Iridium plugs work the best that I've seen. You can get them at Advance Auto.

I suggest you an NGK Iridium IX DCPR7EIX spark plugs for your Rocker. This is the perfect iridium spark plug that comes with nickel core material. After installing this, you can get better performance and acceleration. In addition, it comes with an anti-corrosion coating. It is highly recommended for your Rocker.
