Yeah, but one does it more consistently than the other, one will also last longer than the other.. They all work, but some will work like crap while others will make your engine run better
Looks like both are similar. Iridium's probably dont wear out faster than platinums. Thats why usually the recommendation interval to change them are higher mileage
I don't know what factory Kia spark plugs the Niro hybrid uses but they lasted me 200,000 miles and I switch them out just because w Bosch double iridium spark plugs
@@lightspeeddan8263you drove it for 200k miles without changing the plugs?? I don't doubt it's possible but are you sure the motor is still in good tune? They may not wear out to zero operation, but they do wear down. Why go for so long like that?
@@ceasursmoke1391 difference is in the tip where the spark is produced iridium has an extremely high melting point theoretically giving it a longer spark life. Maybe educate people instead of just talking and looking down on them.
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.
They should have done this test under compression! A bad plug will fire under these conditions, pit it under cylinder compression, and its a different result for sure. However, both are good plugs. iridium has the material that will last longer.
Please make sure you replace your spark plus with OEM parts if your vehicle is stock. It is engineer for specific plugs. If you're modified you should use spark plugs as recommended by your tunner especially when you change your turbo, air intake etc
Motor trend just did a dyno with different plug testing.. performance wise they were all bout the sane. Opening the gap to 0.65 is the only thing that made noticeable performance gains.. oh on engine masters
I’m just curious. Gold is expensive, but so is gasoline. Has anyone ever made spark plugs with gold electrodes? I suppose you could gold-plate a spark plug.
Iridium has a nice sound to it, don’t it? I just like saying I got me some Iridium plugs! People say, “ what the hell is Iridium?”, then I says “ I don’t know, but they cost me an arm and a leg!”. Yeah, I gots me some Iridium, for sure! Some say copper is just as good, but copper just don’t have the same ring to it, ya’ know?
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.
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.
The one on right looks to be slightly better spark. Very minimal. Which one maintains the better spark for longer is probably the bigger deal. I know these new plugs are awesome. I pulled a set of factory plugs out my gpas Dodge mini van at 120k. They were just starting to miss some. The sixty thou Gap was at eighty-eighty five😂. I think they were iridiums. Allot better than the old ones back in the day😂
I understand for other people (car people/mechanics) it would be obvious which is which. And maybe they matched it up to the video title and the "Iridium" is L and "Platinum" is R. But at the end of the day......... I still don't know which is which and I"m confused.
The biggest difference is, the iridium plug will last longer. EPA laws say that all pollution parts are covered under warranty for 10 years or 100,000 mils and the old plus will not last that long.
Youll notice a difference in throttle response compared to double platinum or reg plat nickle copper better gas mileage and less carbon build up due to the stronger spark created by idruim
I used a very sophisticated optical sensor called my eyes and came to conclusion they both have spark 😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree 😅
😂
50 watts each spark.
5 million watts if We use Pulstar Pulse Plugs....
If you listen carefully you can hear star wars music
Haha very true!

Thank you for clearing this up!
Iridium is harder material than platinum. Less erosion. That’s it. Doesn’t change the sparking voltage or the energy in the spark kernel.
It's better describing it like how you did then just showing this video.
One spark had a deeper color than the other.😏
Yah but whats worth more?
Which one

Which is which??
iridium at the right and platinum at the left,
iridium have those sharply pointed electrodes
What am I watching here?
Very educational indeed😂😂😂
They should have done this test under compression! A bad plug will fire under these conditions, pit it under cylinder compression, and its a different result for sure. However, both are good plugs. iridium has the material that will last longer.
The spark on the left has higher quality, a more solid consistent arc compared to the right.
This was a wealth of information
Great!
🤣🤣🤣
No load, 20,000 RPM. Useless test. Means Nothing
Not only that but they are both gap different from each other you can clearly see this
The best one was the unobtainium.
Ahahaah😂
but they have to go to Pandora to get it. A little far and very expensive. Not to mention the MOQ's.
Now kids what did we learn from this?
You can plug in sparkplug an make funny music?😮

Whatever happened to them Split Fire plugs that was the rage back in the day?
They were replaced by the E3 plugs at the bottom of the the trash can.
The force is strong with this plug
Theyll both get your car to the store
Didn't get the point WHICH ONE IS BETTER ?
Iridium last longer.
@@zfouleur2904 but Platinum will give you better performance

Yes

Get the gap the same between the two before trying to prove something !
Not trying to prove anything? Just shows how it operates.
Which one better?
I will say iridium
The way to see which one is better is open the plugs to 80 or so and see which one can still spark and keep going wider and wider
I’m just curious. Gold is expensive, but so is gasoline.
Has anyone ever made spark plugs with gold electrodes? I suppose you could gold-plate a spark plug.
Hmm, I haven't seen a spark plug with a gold electrode, but I'm sure some one has tested it
Gold would melt. Silver is actually a better conductor that gold
Yes they make gold...ran em in my 2 stroke dirt bikes 40 years ago
Had gold ones on my old skidoo.
Not a good idea
Longevity- iridium is a harder metal
Irridium holds up to the heat better than platinum. Being in FL, i can tell a difference.
Somewhere, I heard platinum gives a better cold temp start.
What do you drive?

The Iridium sparks better, according to the fire light level which I'm seeing as I watched. ❤

Sounds like he was about to play Star wars on the Spark plugs lol
Not the some gap one has like 32 and the odder has like 40 to 42 gap
cool tool. does it also test mower and edger spark plugs that only have a spark generating magneto? thx.
It should test all sorts of spark plugs, I haven't tried it yet
Thanks for this video, but it looks like the gap on the plug on the right is too wide
After very careful observation I've come to realize which spark plug was better than the other one and it's that spark plug
Now I know how they made music for Nintendo when I was a kid.
Like watching different color paint dry!
Something tells me this is the way they moved the huge stones to build the pyramids
Powered Atlantis.
The more efficient spark is on the right. More consistent, even spark. Worth the extra $12 per spark plug? That's for you to decide
Identify which is which Bubba?
The Iridium plugs were called EPA plugs... last long and burn hotter for emissions
I'm always amazed how fast an internal combustion engine operates
I understand for other people (car people/mechanics) it would be obvious which is which. And maybe they matched it up to the video title and the "Iridium" is L and "Platinum" is R. But at the end of the day......... I still don't know which is which and I"m confused.
I was waiting for Travis Scott to start spitting bars
I'm not sold on Iridium now...throw a match at gas and what happens...spark regardless and one such as either plug is gonna make damage so!
I think a rhodium spark plugs are the best ones going today thank you.
They should have the same spark. Iridium just has a wider heat range.
The only way to tell the difference is to put your finger on the spark.
spark plugs wondering why its cool out and not 350 degrees in a 180 psi combustion chamber 😂
one on the right is plattnuim. you can tell by the purple spark. not sure witch one has more intensity

Both have spark, the one on the right has a larger gap to appear it's a stronger spark due to the spark looking "longer"
my iridium plugs lasted 200k miles before i had to change it do to a misfire
Why is iridium more burned than the other?
Had been in a vehicle for 120,000kms
The softer metal plugs always have better spark then the longer lasting hard metal plugs
When a car is running are the spark plugs sending electricity like this all the time until the car is turned off?
Iridium just last a lil longer. A spark finna cause a splode no matter what lol
Which is which
Platinum is on the left
Awesome little machine! Can you touch them to see which spark feels stronger? I doesn't really hurt.
This is a National Weather Service ALERT😂BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP🙄🤦♂️🙉

that frequency of the sparkplugs makes you hear a savage garden song, jsut saying
Platinum has that flat cubed shape at tip. Iridium has that sharp hat like tip.
My boat requires irridium plugs. I put std ac copper plugs in it. It ran like crap. Bought iridiums, runs like new.

Solid spark either way, let your budget decide
The one on the left has a slightly more consistent arc to it. Just barely.

Aside from the different gap, they're practically the same.

They use the longer lasting more expensive Iridium in stupid design vehicles that you need to remove the engine to change them.
I wonder if this is where Skrillex got his sound from 😅

Is there a point to this video? Don’t pay extra for one over the other? Spark plugs spark? OK. Now I know.
May the foce be with you young spark plug.

Try gapping your plugs. Huge difference
platnum doesnt conduct electricity well . stick with iridium
Is one sparkier?
