    2016-honda-cr-v-rear-view-carbuzz-479531-1600.jpg Went to Dealer to get some new plugs for my Girlfriends Honda CRV. Counterperson said here you go, that will be $33.80 each. - ouch. I said thank you and went elsewhere.

    They have precious metal inside and are designed to last a long long time. It's pretty normal.

    The mercs and dodges with 16 plugs have a real gripe.

    Took my truck in to do spark plugs on Friday. 3 of the ignition coils are stuck on so they may need to be broken to get them off and are $150 a piece. The replacement spark plugs are about the same at $30 a pop :bananadead::bananadead::bananadead:

    Get the OEM plug part number and find them at a local parts store (Autozone, O'reilys etc) They're either NGK or Denso.
    for example, My KTM Streetbike takes 2 NGK spark plugs, Iridium and standard, per cylinder 4 total, Dealer OEM parts are $45.01 per plug.
    Found them at autozone, the same plugs 2 iridium and 2 standard. $11 for the standard, $13 for the Iridium each.
    Shop around you'll find them cheaper, Definitely DO NOT buy on eeBay or Aamazon, there are a lot of counterfeits.
    shoot, send me the Year CRV you have and I'll find em for you haha.
