I'm going to give my MM a tune up. Anybody have a good suggestion on what plugs to run? I've had some issues with platinum plugs and more expensive isn't always better. Anybody had good results with a particular set? Thanks guys!

I use Autolite XP-103 I believe. They're a degree colder than stock, but I have a tune. Good plugs, but a little on the expensive side. You may also want to try the search function. I believe we have had a few threads on sparkplugs. ;)

Do you have any mods on your car; if so what are they?

Use the search function....

I was running NGK – TR6 which are 1 heat range colder. I'm currently running Autolite plugs because I got them free. Here are some plugs that will work in your MM.

Note 1: Platinum plugs are overkill and an unnecessary expense.

Note 2: Change your plugs once a year, plugs are cheap.

Note 3: Use a torque wrench when installing plugs.

Note 4: Use anti-seize on the plugs

Note 5: Use dielectric grease on the COP boots

Note 6: Change plugs ONLY when the engine is COLD

dont waste your money on magic plugs, go with oem or one range colder if you have a few mods.

Yea, I probably should have done a search. I'm usually good about that, I guess I just wasn't thinkin'. lol
