Where have all the Spark Plugs gone? ? - Page 2

The guys at my local AutoZone, PepBoyz, and Parts Plus stores are fairly knowledgable about cars. They're not rotary experts, but they can talk shop. I also make sure I get as much info on a part I need online at a store's website (i.e. part numbers) before I go to the store.

AZ carry NGKs and can order the rotary-specific ones. That being said, they charge $14 a pop! I usually order my plugs from sparkplugs.com. Even with shipping, they were cheaper than if I had ordered them through AZ.

Why not get them from the dealer, heat range is very important.

All by the way after market parts do not perform as well.Lower quality does mean better.

I was under the impression that NGK were OEM parts?

I just went to advance on thursday and ordered plugs. They didn't carry the regular ngks anymore you have to get the platinum ones. And they still had to order those.
