spark plugs
 

Ok, I'm confused. Today I ordered 6-Autolite double platinum spark plugs for
my '06 Rubicon. According to the auto parts store, and the Autolite website,
the '06 Rubi takes part #APP5224, and that is what I ordered. They are due
in tomorrow.

Upon searching the web tonight, I found that according to partsamerica.com
and autolite.com the '05 and earlier 6cyl - 4.0L Wranglers take part
#APP985.

#APP985 or # APP5224. Both are Autolite Double Platinum. What is the
difference?

My hood sticker says use NKG ZFR5N, and that is listed as the correct plug
for '06, '05, and earlier 6cyl - 4L Wranglers. Why would the Autolite Double
Platinum Plugs be different for the '06?

Could just be a catalog# change - carmakers do this all the time; it's
possible they're the same plug, just different numbers.

Why change the plugs on an '06 already? And why expensive double-plats?
I use the $0.69 cent Champion Coppers and they work great. I've also
used these on other cars with ground-to-anode firing designs and they
worked well there too.

I've got this buddy that buys $8.00 specialty plugs for his Honda, and
he swears it adds 20 hp. Balderdash!

I agree. The 4.0 likes nothing better than the Copper Champs or the NGK's.
Fancy plugs are a waste of money.
