They're serving Kool-Aid...

It says they will only last 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Then they claim that they will last 100,000 miles or more! You might go through 30 sets of these, while the proper ACDelco iridium will still be going strong! How can they claim to be better for the environment? The landfills will be filling up with these things!

Maybe they give you new plugs in their 5 year warranty program?

Interesting claims:

The plugs are made of copper in the core and its tip is made of a nickel alloy.”

Iridium? What’s that?


They have the deepest projections.”

Cool. Unless the piston hits ‘em.

“Preset Gaps gapped according to the specification of engine manufacturers. They do not need to be re-gapped.”

Cool. Because HTF would you gap them, anyway?

Also something something that I could only interpret as electrons doing a happy dance.


Yep! The tantalizing scent of Snake Oil.

Yes, the copper is a fantastic conductor. But then they nullify that by putting nickle at the tip!

ACDelco is still running a rebate. $12 off (4) iridiums. Through end of the year, apparently, pretty much wherever you buy them.
