Multi-rib ceramic insulator to help prevent misfires
More focused ignition for better flame kernel growth and faster fuel combustion for better engine performance
Product Review
Product Description
Autolite XP Xtreme Performance spark plugs are one of the brand's most technologically advanced spark plugs. Consumers get the benefits of patented platinum sidewire technology for improved durability and longer life, along with an iridium-enhanced .6mm finewire design for improved ignitability. Independent lab tests show that Autolite XP Xtreme Performance spark plugs provide better overall ignitability and durability than many other premium spark plugs. By increasing the size of the flame kernel (a 21 percent bigger flame compared to standard sparkplugs), these Autolite spark plugs ignite more gas and air mixture inside the cylinders to deliver better overall ignition. The ignition is more focused, which provides faster fuel combustion, optimizing the vehicle's spark plug performance. In addition, the Autolite XP Xtreme Performance spark plug offers drivers the same durability as the Autolite Double Platinum sparkplug ¿ virtually no gap erosion, longer life, and top fuel efficiency over the life of the plug. Autolite XP Xtreme Performance sparkplugs can be used in nearly 90 percent of passenger cars and light duty trucks on the road today.

I run these in my 302 Ford. Some of you know it better as a "Five-Point-Oh". Don't believe what people say about spark plugs. Either they work, or they don't. Trust me. You want the ones that work. Nobody, and I repeat: "NOBODY" - gets any real gains in mileage or horsepower from using fancy spark plugs. If you don't go OEM, some aftermarket plugs misfire....if you're lucky. If you're not lucky, they can do really bad things in your engine.....break, blow out, melt, et cetera. When in doubt, go OEM. In this case, these work. No problems. It's not just inline four cyclinder engines of Hondas & Toyotas that you can run an overpriced Iridium plug in. Can I hope for a more complete ignition and better burn-off of fuel, resulting in more horsepower and better mileage? Probably not. However, Iridium is 6 times harder, 8 times stronger, and has a melting point 1200 degrees higher than platinum.

I run Iridium XP104 in my '92 vette here in CA and also their XP5224 version in our 3.7L V6 Jeep KJ Liberty with very good results. Neither one is a real joy to change plugs in, especially the vette - brutal - so you want to know the plugs you put in will work and LAST a long, long time. Like the other reviewer said, no miracles but they're top quality and reliable. For $6 for the best versus $2 for possible junk, you're crazy to put cheap plugs in any vehicle.

I am running those in my V8 5.0L (302) Ford and my V6 3.0L DOHC Ford. There is no question that iridum tip and platinum ground disc will last longer and maintain the same gap.
Why would anybody buy anything else, especially when is so labor intesive to replace those in the first place?
