I went in yesterday to get a set of normal copper plugs because im removing the nitrous for the rest of the year until summer. I want to get the normal plug and gap it back to .054 to get the most outta gas... So i go in there and the guy tells me my car calls for a platinum plug. He says they start out at like 3.49 a piece at the one I was at. I'm like "Oh really?" . I then tell him that my v6 mustang didn't require platinum plugs back in 1997, why does it now? He says its always called for platinum plugs. I then tell him that it didn't come with a platinum plug from the factory but he still tells me it requires a platinum plug.
I tell the guy to go get me a motorcraft plug and he "didnt have any". I think tell him that im leaving unless he goes and gets me a copper plug. I ask for a champion and he finally figures out that he happens to have a champion plug in that number. Friggin idiots, i know they are trying to make sells but holding onto a lie for that long is just stupid.
Has anyone else had this experience? I.e. someone telling them their car needs "platinum plugs"
