    Iridium NGK plugs Part # 93298 .

    There's probably Bosch, Autolite, Champion and AC Delco compatible plugs but I use NGK in everything I have and they have never let me down.

    I suspect they are good for 239,000 kms as I don't think my 2nd Mirage ever had the plugs changed.

    They'll probably still work at higher mileage. But come winter it's nice to have things working best.
    I've changed a few sets that had well over 200k kms=124274 MILES and they didn't look too bad but did show wear.

    I also prefer the NGK brand plugs and run them in all my rides except my diesel bus of course.

    I changed mine at 95k. They didn't need to be changed.

    NGK or denso. Nothing else. At least in Japanese cars

    You may want to try the Ruthenium. I bought mine at Rockauto and bench tested vs. the stock Iridium w/ 50K KMS runtime.



    Compared Ruthenium vs. Denso's Twin Tip spark plug


    NOTE:
    Test done 6/21/2019.

    I have not yet installed/tested any of them in my car though .. so I can't comment on the actual performance, I am keeping them as stock spare.
