Title: x20xev lpg spark plugs
Post by: zuluf on 11 August 2010, 16:23:51

Greets.

People I need a recommendation regarding spark plugs.
Opel Omega B '97  X20XEV engine running on LPG
I've been messing arround the net but I can't make up my mind + not much expirience on that field yet.

Cheer-e-os!

IME the standard GM parts are fine on LPG. No need for anything special.

Seconded... Mine have done about 35k and still feel fine. :y :y

Planning to change them in the next few weeks in preparation for the Italy Road trip because the law of sod says that if I don't I'll have problems ::) ::)

Any code on standard GM like Bosch FLR8LDCU so I can know what I'm looking for?

Just done 44k miles over 4 years with NGK Iridium BKR6EIX-LPG plugs. My LPG guy reckons its time to change, and also reckons that standard NGK plugs work just fine on LPG cars. He says the standard NGK BKR6EK plugs are half the price and just as good. I'll fit the new ones tomorrow.
