Reasonable Iridium Plug change interval | BobIsTheOilGuy What would be a reasonable Iridium Plug change interval?

NGK Iridium IX vs Laser Iridium | BobIsTheOilGuy Laser has iridium center electrode with small platinum disc welded to the ground electrode A Mazda TSB from 2012 indicates that this type of plug is required for Skyactiv engines even though NGK's site offers more that one type for those engines
Iridium vs Ruthenium spark plugs | BobIsTheOilGuy Funny, a few weeks ago I bought the same Ruthenium plugs, to replace the Iridium plugs in our '09 Mazda (with the same 2 3 l engine) Per NGK, G-Power Platinum plugs are good for 60K km, Iridium IX 100K km, and Iridium Laser 120K km
Spark Plugs: NGK IX Iridium v.

Clarification on Upgrading Spark Plugs | BobIsTheOilGuy In some cars, the use of iridium plugs is important because the gap is different, and the life is longer I would stick with what the car came with No one makes iridium plugs for a '32 Packard for example, and those "copper" plugs have a nickel alloy electrode, which is enough for the 6 volt ignition system and 6 5:1 compression
Iridium vs Ruthenium spark plugs | Page 5 | BobIsTheOilGuy Nearly all NGK spark plugs, including precious metal iridium and platinum plugs, have a copper core to increase the electrode durability Special nickel alloys, platinum, and iridium electrodes, along with copper cores are all used to enhance durability – durability meaning how long a spark plug will last before it needs to be replaced
