Stock spark plugs are good for 90k, and I'd replace them with OEM. OEM = NGK Iridium, doesn't get much better than that.

Well since one of my fuel injectors are shot..my car has misfire on cylinder 4 so that spark plug is BLACK..and the other 3 are nice golden brown.
Any one knows what oem runs a plug?

Expect between $10-15 per plug, depending on where you get them.

No. Think about it. You can get NGK copper plugs for $1.50 - $2.00 each, but then you have to change them at least three times as often. My old car used to go through NGK coppers in 10,000 miles. You might come out a dollar or two ahead, but you'd waste all that time changing spark plugs.

Just get the NGK Iridiums and forget about it for another 90k.

You can use either of these two. Both are iridium. DON'T use anything else, especially copper on our stock engine (unless you want to change them often). Expect to pay around $8 each. Funny thing is the dealer will charge about $20 each for the EXACT same rebranded Mitsu plug!

NGK 3656 (LZFR6AI) = OEM

Wrong car, wrong engine, wrong forum.
