Best spark plug?
Soon to be doing a plug change on my '07 5.4 and wondered what's the best plug to go with?

Or, Champion 7989 for a one-piece. Get new boots! Get a Lisle 65600! Read the TSB and the many plug removal threads first. Good luck! MGD |
Motorcraft SP-515.

What about for the 2v 4.6? Is SP-493 the correct/best plug?

I wrote a how to in the technical articles section. It might help simplify the process for you. I would go with the sp- 515.

MGD,
Are the Iridiums worth the extra money? They are supposed to be lifetime plugs, aren't they? And for the other two responses, Are the SP-515s worth the spark on my lil 2v 4.6? I know they recommended them for the 5.4, but they are two piece and I'm a little leery of that, even though I know my engine doesn't have the plug issues the 5.4 suffered.... |
4.6 is completely different than 5.4 plugs.

Thanks everyone. Best part is the local Oreily has them For $7.99 each.

You'll be just fine with the single-plat SP-493 Motorcraft. The iridium plug is pricey and you'll likely never know the difference in a stock truck. I was just answering yer question, lol. Save yer coin. Remember - 28 ft-lbs , dry. Use dielectric properly in the boots. Good luck! :beers: MGD |
Thanks MGD, and Lifted. I'll save the money I would've used on those iridium plugs and put it towards a Magnaflow muffler or something lol
Brandon, Sorry to have jacked your thread, and glad to hear you found the plugs.:) |
Ah no- I just went to Oreily and they gave me Motorcraft SP-415 for my 04 5.4L (non-heritage). But what y'all are saying is I need SP-515? Man, this is annoying because I gave them all my info including VIN per their request. Oh well. C'est la vie.
