Do i get a better performance of the car and better fuel efficiency. What is the life of the Iridium Spark

Plugs?

Is it a new car or a used one? If its a new car then you would be better off not tinkering with it otherwise you risk voiding its warranty. Anything non-OEM in it is liable to void the warranty.

I still have doubts about using K&N Filters in dusty, smoke filled environments. Might be damaging in a long run. What is/are the benefit(s) of using Iridium Sparkplugs?   




Never mind what others say, do whats right for that moment!

I don think using K&N filter would lead to any issues. I have been using it since some time now  (have used both stock and performance filter from K&N) and the Car is doing fine uptill date.

Iridium sparkplugs are meant to enhance the pick up. These are basically used in race cars and modded cars.

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer - basically refers to parts (or their manufacturers) that the car manufacturer sources for use in its vehicles. Many a times the car manufacturer is also the manufacturer of the parts.
