Autolite Platinum Spark Plug?
Does anyone have an experience with Autolite Platinum Spark Plug? The other day, I was in Wal Mart, and stopped by at the auto section. There is a spark plug cross table, and it shows an application of Autolite Platinum Spark Plug. I forgot the part number, but it is a single electrod type.
Anybody can provide an advice? The price is very attractive as usual because it is sold in Wal Mart.
Thanks in advance!

do not buy platinum spark plugs
just go with copper, they work better. Copper is a better conductor, however you wil need to change them periodically as they will deteriorate over time.
Platinum just resists corrosion, thats all.

autolite sucks as hell. Dad's use them in BWM sux, in honda sux, in toyota sux,
the engine pings like hell, even after proper gapping and regapping ...
If i were you, i will get bosch platinum 4+ if your engine is 2.8 (non turbo)
And for 1.8T (turbo) get denso iridium or ngk copper.
Bty audi oem used three-pronge spark plug, not one, FYI
