Improve Fuel Economy and Increased Performance with Spark Plug update

Install plugs that meet your specific needs Plugs come in a variety of designs and materials. Install one that increases performance, such as the Bosch Platinum Ir Fusion or plugs for long life such as the Platinum+2 or Platinum+4. For motorists who prefer copper, remember that some copper plugs have been updated. Bosch's iridium-enhanced Super Plus, for instance, lasts 50 percent longer than other copper core spark plugs, which translates into less time under the hood and more time behind the wheel. There are a lot of situations in which you can benefit from improved spark plug technology, according to Bosch. Examples include: • Mostly short trips, which don't allow the engine and spark plugs to fully warm up and burn off deposits. • Heavy-load use like a car full of kids, sporting goods, or luggage. • Operation in cold weather where start-ups can be critical . What's your engine's condition? If your car has 50-75,000 miles or more on the clock, it almost certainly has some internal wear, with attendant loss of some engine compression and increased oil consumption. "An engine with this kind of mileage is almost sure to develop deposits on pistons, valves and, therefore, on the spark plugs as well. As such, upgrading to a multiple electrode spark plug like Bosch's Platinum+2, Platinum+ 4 or Platinum Ir Fusion will provide extra ground electrodes so the spark can take the most efficient path to provide optimal spark," Smith said. These plugs utilize 'surface air gap' technology for superior spark efficiency, and are permanently preset at the factory for correct gap. And the multiple electrodes are less likely to foul.
