Iridium or Nickel Spark Plugs?

Asked by Michael Dec 26, 2017 at 03:40 PM about the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Its time to change my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 5.7L Hemi's spark plugs
(IAW Manufacturer's recommendation) and the dealer recommends nickel
plugs while a car care center recommends iridium plugs. I like the idea of the
longer life iridium plugs; however I am concerned about deviating from OEM
recommended plugs and read mixed reviews on the internet.  Can you
please advise. Thanks...

I would go with platinum or Iridium but I would ask why the dealer recommends nickel.

Use original equipment plugs. Chrysler is very specific about this issue. The other plugs are costly and unnecessary. As long as the plug fires your good to go.
