At the dealer the Mopar is 22$ And Oreils the NGK is 18$ each . Rock Auto WOW what a difference about 10$ saving each :O
Well you do have to pay for shipping.....I just use least expensive way.....still come out ahead

That was my thought . For some reason some cars are real fussy about plugs and ? My Chevy Car Has best results with AC Delco and issues with some other brands ! I had that done at 83k , Can not wait till last minute to do it lol same with my RAM. I just wanted to cover all bases :) Thanks
My local stealership quoted me $24 a pop for OE plugs for my Hemi. RockAuto was $96 and change for all 16. Got a bunch of other stuff with, and shipping was only $20 for the whole order, came out WAY ahead.

If the NGK's that come out of your V6 are anything like the ones that go in the Hemi's, you will find that they have very little wear.

Thanks everyone.
I would not mind paying 20$ a plug if they were the best as cutting corner usually cost more in the end lol

And even with shipping which is high on Rock Auto I should still be OK vs. I will also check the Parts store I drove for on my PT job to see what discount I can get .

And I am lucky to have a shop that would use my parts as I used to deliver to him :) Plus when I use his parts he is very fair

I know the plugs are 100k but I do not wait for any max time change lol
What brand do you use ?
What brand to stay away from ?
On my Chevy HR I heard h many had issues with certain brands and te AC Delco was the brad of choice w/no issues !
So wondering if the Pentastar has issue with certain plugs .
Or just stay OEM .
Thanks
"AC" Delco..... AC stands for Albert Champion!

Over the last 40+ years I learned to use the OEM plug specified for that vehicle. The few times I used something different they fouled or misfired. Most newer Mopar's use NGK plugs. The Japanese car I had used them and so does my Waverunners. They are great plugs. I had NGK plugs in a waverunner that sat for 8 years and the engine filled up with 2 cycle oil. I got the oil out, squirted starting fluid in it and it fired up. I ran fine for about an hour while we burned out the excess oil. Pulled the plugs and they had some gunk but looked pretty good. NGK makes good stuff, but it's not cheap.

$6.99 to ship 6 NGK 9723 spark plugs from Rockauto to NC by USPS.......would think ME would be about the same.
That would make it $9.96 a plug plus tax in your state.
