Looking for Feedback on Autolite Spark Plugs

I’ve been doing some research on spark plugs and I keep coming across Autolite spark plugs.

I’m curious - are they really good? I know there are lots of brands out there, like NGK and Bosch, which have pretty solid reputations.

Here are some points I’d love to hear about:

  • Personal Experiences: If you’ve used Autolite spark plugs, what has been your experience? Did you notice any performance improvements or issues?
  • Comparisons: How do they stack up against NGK or Bosch? Are there specific models that are better?
  • Reliability: Have you faced any issues related to misfiring or longevity with Autolite?
  • Recommendations: Would you recommend Autolite spark plugs for daily drivers versus high-performance vehicles?

I really want to make an informed choice here, so any insights would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Interesting! But how do they hold up in extreme weather? I live in a place with drastic temperature changes.

Autolite spark plugs have handled extreme cold pretty well in my experience. I live in a cold climate and have never had starting issues, which I can’t say for all brands I’ve used.

That’s reassuring! I’ve usually gone for NGK, but I’m tempted to try Autolite. How do they compare in terms of price?

Autolite spark plugs are generally more affordable than some premium brands. I’ve found them to be a good value considering their performance. You might be pleasantly surprised!

That is a good point! But have any of you experienced any issues with misfiring over time?

I’ve had my Autolite plugs in for a while now, and no misfiring yet! However, I’ve also heard of mixed experiences, so maybe quality can vary between batches?

That’s good feedback! I’m curious, do you all think that brand loyalty factors into performance perceptions?
