B284R Spark plugs (08 V6 XWD) Posted by magalar [Email] (#1325) [Profile/Gallery] (more from magalar) on Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:58:41 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm slowly stocking all the bits for the next "main" maintenance that is due in less than 10 000 km.
The last bits to arrive are the spark plugs. While the 2008 Owner's manual states that I schould use the PLFR6C-10G. However, they are difficult to find here in Montreal.
So I went online and found numerous posts about which plug to use. German and French sites suggest to use the Turbo X plug, even for an 2008 XWD like mine. The theory is these are the updated plugs for this engine in the Opel Insignia and Cadillac SRX, but Saab lost that info in the turmoil surrounding their closure.
So I ordered these DILFR7B10G from Rockauto.com, for a very reasonable price of 10.30 each. These are the 55564748 GM/Opel part number. The NGK German web site confirmed this was the correct plug. It shows that plug for any V6 from 01/2008 and up.
Time will tell if they are any good. Will I need anything else to complete the job ? 3 coilpacks for the rear bank maybe ?
