x2. I'm a big fan of the cheap, non-platinum NGK's. The whole platinum thing is a bit over-hyped as well. On my GM cars, the engines run so darn hot that the platinum coating will dissolve after 35-50K miles......... which is why I run the $2 a plug NGK's and change them every 30K miles. With emissions in mind, I doubt that Jeeps are running much "cooler".

Sure there wll be dissenters, but that's been my experience.

Are you kidding? I have had an engine light for almost a year....cannot find the problem...sometimes it blinks and dings and the Jeep runs really rough like its going to stall...and never for a moment did I consider calling a tow truck.... I don'r care what the manual says...LOL
