Ie.

Single platinum: 6 plugs for $8
Double platinum: 6 plugs for $24

Since I already invested so much money in the car this past year, I will go with the single.

Ps. FYI, I just replaced the O2 sensor upstream and it cost $130. I also use the Mobil 1 5W30 synthetic oil...another costy investment. I have new wires, ect ect.

In addition, I still get that ticking noise. It sounds like the lifter(s) are sticking, how do I correct that without major overhaul?



I don't say this often, but are you taking stupid pills?

The single plats will wear extremely fast on half of the engine.

If you think you are saving money by making it necessary to change the plugs every 20,000 miles instead of 60,000 to 100,000, you must be taking stupid pills.
