How to install iridium spark plugs on a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Spark plugs

In this video we see how to mount iridium spark plugs on a Fiat 500: we can find these spark plugs for example on auto-doc. It, NGK brand with code 0087295159446 at a price of 17.00 euros each, + 9.90 euros for shipping. What is the advantage of mounting iridium spark plugs compared to normal ones? Iridium is a metal extremely resistant to wear and high temperatures, so they will last much longer than traditional ones, up to 100,000 km or more. The central electrode is also thinner and allows for a more concentrated and powerful spark, leading to more efficient fuel combustion and better performance. Otherwise, changing the spark plugs compared to normal ones does not present any difference: we must pay attention both during removal and repositioning to not drop the spark plugs inside, so it is good practice to use a magnetic screwdriver, in any case they must be tightened to 23Nm.
