The DOUBLE Platinum spark plugs have platinum electrode tips that promote smooth combustion and increased fuel efficiency. They are also incredibly durable and have been known to improve cold start performance. The platinum electrodes are encapsulated in purified alumina powder which acts as an insulator and increases thermal conductivity. The Yttrium enhanced copper core center also aids in the prevention of cracking from thermal shock.
A platinum spark plug is similar to a copper spark plug, but it has a platinum center electrode. The platinum disc is welded to the electrode tip, increasing durability. A platinum spark plug can last for up to 100,000 miles and generate more heat than a copper spark plug. They also produce less debris and are often recommended for cars with electronic distributor ignition systems. Here are a few reasons why you should consider switching to a platinum spark plug.
Compared to their iridium counterparts, platinum spark plugs generate more heat, which means that less debris builds up in the combustion chamber. Platinum spark plugs are perfect for newer models with electronic distributor ignition systems. Platinum spark plugs are available in both single and double versions. Single and double platinum plugs have a platinum electrode on the ground electrode, which makes them similar to a copper spark plug.
Iridium spark plugs are better than platinum. They can burn and compress fuel more effectively. Iridium spark plugs can last for over 100,000 miles. But you should take the pros and cons before you buy them. There are many benefits and drawbacks of each type, so you should weigh them carefully. The choice of spark plugs depends on your car's mileage and performance. If you need to replace your spark plugs frequently, iridium spark plugs can last for 100,000 miles or more.
Iridium spark plugs are stronger than platinum. Iridium has a higher melting point than platinum and can last longer than platinum plugs. Compared to platinum, iridium spark plugs are more expensive than platinum. Iridium spark plugs are rated as the performing plugs for cars and motorcycles. So choose the one that suits your needs. If you can't afford platinum, try iridium.
