What are the benefits of platinum tip spark plugs?
THey generally give longer service than standard, maybe two or three times as long. They can cost quite a bit more, though, and standard ones now last a pretty long time, too. I generally compromise and get single-platinum, with a bit of it on the tip of the center electrode, rather than double or triple platinum or all the fancy exotic varieties, like titanium and rubidium, whatever that is, and split-fire electrodes they have now. Money-wasting gimmicks, if you ask me.
