OEM NGK's all the way.

Denso plugs suck, as they come apart and destroy engines. Had it happen right in front of me on the dyne, and there are quite a few others who lost engines because of them.

It does burn oil.

It burns 1/4-1/2 of a quart every 3,000 miles, which BTW is when I change it.
That is very low oil consumption for an F20C.

Yes, you are correct that changing plugs early does not hurt anything mechanically. It simply adds an unnecessary expense to your operating costs and wastes resources.

Please let us know how many miles are on your car. If you have less than 50k miles, your money is burning a hole in your pocket, and want to improve the operation of your car, I'd spend it on something other than spark plugs.

Uhh. That isn't very comforting.

I've been running the IK-22's for some time now without a prob... might look into switching back

I had the NGK IRIWAY plug, it has better sparking power over the OEM but it just won't last as long.
