Spark plugs can provide Xtreme auto performance The average motorist often underestimates the power and importance of a spark plug, even though it is exposed to severe stress. Spark plugs must deliver a high voltage spark within split-second timing, thousands of times per minute, in order to ignite the air/fuel mixture inside a vehicle's engine. This process provides the power a vehicle needs to operate. However, old or worn spark plugs can disrupt this process and diminish the amount of power that is generated. To keep vehicles running their best, motorists should replace spark plugs according to the intervals outlined in their vehicle's owner's manual. For years, "tuners" and savvy do-ityourselfers have been replacing old or worn spark plugs to help restore lost power and improve vehicle performance. Now, the average motorist can experience these benefits, too, with a premium offering from Autolite-- one of the most trusted names in spark plugs. Autolite XP Xtreme Performance Spark Plugs are one of the brand's most technologically advanced spark plugs. With an iridium-enhanced, 0.6 mm finewire design and patented platinum sidewire technology for improved durability (1), these spark plugs provide more focused ignition for better ignitability. "We've provided motorists with more bang for less buck," said Megan Currie, Autolite product manager. "Our Autolite XP Xtreme Performance Spark Plugs deliver optimum performance for great overall value."
