NGK Ruthenium technology provides maximum durability and performance in newer engines where greater ignition efficiency is demanded. Modern engine designs utilize advanced technologies to create more power with less fuel. This results in greater heat and pressure in the combustion chamber, which shortens the life the spark plug.

Great Investment!

NGK® - Spark Plugs Ruthenium HX™

I had one that had a bad core but TRUCKiD replaced it. I had some little more power and ran smoother. Gas lasted longer. My idling rpm was greater and had to normal out after it warmed up because it would jump at stop signs. Ended up burning out two of the ignition coils weeks later which I am having to order here if they get them all in stock. So buy ignition coils if changing to these so it's one job. Worth the investment.

NGK® 90495 - HX™ Ruthenium Spark Plug

It is worth the price. You're not gaining massive performance but also not losing anything whatsoever. They spark faster/longer and are much more durable than other spark plugs due to the ruthenium element involved. Longevity Is better than other plugs as well. Time will tell. The plugs are likely not pre-gapped to the OEM specs of your car. If so, make sure you use a proper tool/gauge. Do not use the old style disc gappers as they destroy the precious materials.

Not the Wrong Decision

NGK® 90220 - HX™ Ruthenium Spark Plug

I hope I have 1% improvement, but it isn't the noticeable improvement I hoped for. These should be worth the additional cost in total life at least.

Improved Gas Mileage and Performance

NGK® - HX™ Ruthenium Spark Plug

In less than 500 miles I was able to record 37+ mpg for 200 miles at 70 mph with three people in the car. Also, around town went from 29+ mpg to 32+ mpg. Acceleration is smoother.
