Hey,I was looking to replace my spark plugs and when I look up the NGK Iridiums I see two different types. One is an OE replacement and the other is the new IX series which is supposed to be the best but the OE was 8$ a pop and the IX was 6$ a pop. How is this so? Isn't the IX better and should, therefore, be more expensive?

Your OEM spark plugs are good for 100,00 miles. Is there a reason you want to change them.

I don't trust their maintenance schedules. I'll cut everything in half and do it.
