NGK Ruthenium Spark Plugs - Are they better than Iridium? Lets Find out! (Real world comparisons)

In this video we are going to compare NGK Iridium IX spark plugs against NGK Ruthenium Spark plugs to see if there is actually a real word difference between the two.

Nice,fair video FB. My '16 2.0 F Focus runs fantastically on the Ruths! I installed them 1 1/2 years ago when I discovered them. Lots of ooomph!

Finally something about these spark plugs. I’ve been wading through AI generated garbage articles about spark plugs for days. Thank you for making this!

5:25 0-60 pulls with iridium 10:05 0-60 with ruthenium

I appreciate the time to make the content.

Can you make a video on testing mpg woth different tire pressures? Ive always been curious about that lol

[@afellowinnewengland6142]

Dude, you're not running a supercharged 750hp V8. There's not going to be any meaningful change in power on a low compression, low output, low rpm passenger car engine. Especially when there's nothing to really improve on in the combustion cycle. To trim 1/10 of a second off the 1/4 mile you'd need to add 10hp. Not possible with a plug change on that engine...By their own admission the true goal of Iridium and Ruthenium plugs is simply increasing durability in lean modern engines that run high pressures and forced induction. You could toss some $2 NGK copper plugs in there and it would run just as well. Any differences you think you perceive are just a placebo effect.

Yes, it's a daily driver, not a super car. NGK makes 2 types of ruthenium plugs. One is for forced induction, the other is for naturally aspirated engines. Yes, the main goal of these plugs is to last longer. People made such a fuss over whether or not these plugs improved anything over iridium, so i figured I'd test it in what most people drive - an average car. Was it better? No, not really. Was it fun to test? Yeah - I was super curious and wanted to share my results.

I hope you did not eat any meal between spark plug changed. 🤣 🤣 🤣
