9s Platinum 0000-18-N3A1 is 6.90 USD @ mazdacomp

9s copper N342-18-110 is 8.45 USD @ mazdacomp



That's weird... That or FC parts are seriously being phased out now.

i've never paid more than $6 per plug for either from local autoparts stores......

It is 16 CDN+tax a plug here from mazda dealership. You got your local parts store for them they give you a funny look and ask you to repeat your query.



So for 6.90 USD they are a steal to me. 15 CDN + tax (14%) is roughly 15 USD a plug (exchange rate is about 1 cdn = 0.85 USD)

advanced auto sells coppers for 5.50 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif

try 0000-18-n342, they dont have any in canada though, eh?



have to come from PA...

I got NGK's from Advance Auto for $5 a piece. I also got a set of wires for like $24.

anyone use NGK b90s plugs? thats what everyone here uses....

0000-18-n342 - $5.60

Mike what are those? FD 9s?



In canada, mazda sells the spark plugs in packages of 4. In the package is two 7s and two 9s for leading and trailing. The dealerships can not get single 9s or single 7s anymore from Mazda Canada. And they dont' want to place an order from the Mazda USA warehouse. They only do that if I start requesting weird non maintance parts they haven't been in stock in the Canada warehouses for years. And one box of 4 plugs is something like 60 CDN now.

i dunno exactly why they do this but if you look up the part number, you get n342-18-110, and mazdausa superceeds em to 0000-18-n342, same part, same box, different price, different number.



i think the 0000 ones from from ngk directly, and the "real" part numbers came from mazda japan

I have come to the conclusion Mazda Canada sucks.

mazdausa sells more 3's than anyother car right now. they dont have air filters. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

The 3 is a nice car. I would have probably bought that if I didn't come across a brand new 2003 Subaru Legacy Gt 10,000 off msrp because it was Nov of 2004.



Anyhow back to spark plugs.



0000-18-n342 (is copper)

0000-18-n341 (is platinum)



I'm going with the platinums. Only $1.30 more a plug. And I actually notice that they don't wear as fast.



However with that said. If I had to buy another daily driver I would seriously consider a Mazdaspeed6. Made in Japan, and the build quality I think is way nicer than subaru. Subaru wants too much for their Subaru Legacy GT now. Seeing how you have to get leather with it too... =(

If you want the new turbo subrau legacy GTs, for 3 thou more you could get the SpecB or for 4000 more you can get an STI. Plus my insurance is dropping slowly since I'm getting older. That or a Lexus IS250 rear wheel drive, w/ the sport package, 6 spd manual, and black. No mods!

One more thing to ask:



Are B6Y1-14-302 -9A filters "Made in Japan"?

europe!



b6y2 is usa, i think these are history

b6y1-14-302a is made in japan, and now has grey packaging

b6y1-14-302a is same size as B6Y1?

all of the b6y oil filters are "the same"

are they B6Y1-14-302A superceeded by B6Y1-14-302-9A?



Mazdaspeed USA cart check out says:

B6Y1-14-302A - USE B6Y1-14-302 -9A
