took like 5 minutes tops for that one plug. there was a new one there and he put back in. so i had them remove the 6th plug in my presence. I was questioning whether they swapped them or not at this point- wrong old plugs and the lie about the atf. I was in disbelief as they had lied to me before AND the old plugs were iridiums not the platinums that were supposedly stock in this truck for 2007.

Over time, this wear leads to the spark plugs fouling and not working as efficiently as they did when they were new. The fine wire design of the center electrode improves ignitability and performance in your engine while the Platinum tip on the center provides a 2X longer service life compared to standard Copper plugs. The nickel-alloy outer material used in the copper spark plug isn’t as hard as other metals so it wears down more quickly with the high pressure and heat created in the cylinder of the engine. Bosch 9747/ZR5SI332 Platinum Spark Plugs are engineered to extend performance life and durability. Copper spark plugs are also often used in older (pre-1980s) vehicles with a distributor-based ignition system. They are often installed as original equipment in turbocharged engines and engines with higher compression ratios.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the copper spark plug? These metals also help extend the interval between spark plug changes and decrease the misfire rate. The use of metals like nickel alloy, platinum and iridium reduces the wear caused by high voltage sparks. This is the vital spark that starts the combustion process. The metal channels the high voltage from the spark plug wire through the spark plug so it can spark when it goes across the small gap between the central electrode and the side electrode.
Manufacturers use precious and other metals in the center and side electrodes of a spark plug. What is the purpose of metal in a spark plug?
