    • @michaeldriver127
      @michaeldriver127 3 місяці тому +3

      Less erosion sooner then, so it wouldn't change the voltage delivery in comparison until the platinum erodes sooner, then there will be a difference. Some vehicles are prescribed for iridium because they work harder and would otherwise go through plugs sooner with other materials. For those that call for platinum, you may get a few more miles with iridium but if they cost twice as much and don't go twice as long as platinum, it's a waste of money. Helps to see what the vehicle calls for specifically.

    @godchi1dvonsteuben770 6 місяців тому +1

    Hate to break this to you, but "iridium" spark plugs ARE platinum sparkplugs, just with a miniscule amount of iridium added to the platinum. Sorry, but the difference between the two , in real world application, is nominal. I recommend using platinum/ iridium ALLOY plugs, with ACTIVE distributor cables. Then you'll see a discernable improvement in performance, as that super fast spark you get with platinum/ iridium plugs, will also be MUCH LARGER, combusting more fuel at the moment of spark, instantaneously.

    • @paultinwell5557
      @paultinwell5557 22 дні тому

      Oh this will be fun! Sorry, but that is a completely false statement... at least for any of the reputable brands, and very much so if they're OE plugs. If you're still using a distributor and you think active cables (essentially nothing more than capacitive loads) give you a substantial improvement, you really need to read some physics. A well designed coil-on-plug solution will give you a much better spark energy and then you only need to deal with the crappy energy transfer and large parasitic losses from the spark itself.
