I was just wondering if the 03 Cavaliers with the 2.2 ecos had iridium spark plugs from the factory. I did a search put didn't find my answer

I'm curious to know as well.

I need to do a tune up soon.

"Stock isn't iridium, it's platinum."

A 2 minute google search told me that much, can't confirm the information.


- Your not-so-local, untrained, uncertified, backyard mechanic. But my @!#$ runs

I guess my thought/question was more along the lines of iridium, sinlge platinum, or double platinum.... I know the differences between the three, but GM says platinum, so I'm assuming that would mean single platinum.? Idk

The reason I'm asking this question is becuase I bought spark plugs from a GM dealership and they gave me a/c delco Iridium spark plugs. I asked for the basic a/c delco spark plugs and they told me that the iridiums came in my car 03 Cavalier ecotec stock. I was half a sleep when I bought these and just couldn't care less at the moment. They were almost $20/spark plug which I was not expecting for friggen sparkies. I'm going to return them if they are not what came in my 03 from factory.

get the part number off the box, shoud start with a 41-xxx. you can get the same exact spark plugs from and auto parts store for $6 each.



JBO Stickers! Get yours today!

so are the stock plugs iridiums? or platnums? i'm still confused

they are "double" platinums stock. the guy just wanted to up-sell you crap at GM.

and as said before, any parts store will tell you proper plug numbers. place I work at (canadian owned/operated) sells the platinums for your car at $17/pack of 2.



JBO Stickers are back!!!! Click Me!!

good to know. I'm returning this crap back at GM. Horse of a parts guy too

I can't find double platnum a/c delcos at the parts stores or gm. Maybe these cars did come with Iridiums? I dunno
