Gas mileage went from 14 MPG to 18 MPG just from changing plugs. Everyone of my friends who has changed to the Platinum 4 tell me it greatly improve their gas mileage.

Platinum and iridium plugs plugs basically last forever unless they get oil contaminated or flooded really badly by a faulty injector.

If I hadn't already bought new ones, I'd have stuck them back in, lol.

Worst looking was the rear differential fluid, but did all of what he recommended at the time I got it, plus shocks and brakes all around. Born twice, die once
