[chaiyo]

Hi guys,

I am new, very nice to meet all of ya!

I wanna change the spark plugs of my nissan versa 2007,but I cannot make it with normal spark-plug socket, the holes are too small, I cannot put through the normal sockets. What shall I do？I wonder if a special socket is needed？

Thanks in advance!

Not sure on Versa yet... only 2800 miles. However for my Ford Lightning I use one of these... it works like a charm

It has a rubber insert that holds the plug when installing or removing.... the right tool for the right job.

There is no such thing as a performance aftermarket spark plug. Thats all marketing nonsense. We've tested every plug on the market and none of them have gained any hp over the factory NGK Iridium or Platinum plugs Nissan uses stock.

As an aside some of the performance aftermarket plugs people seem to think are so awesome, like the Pulstar, have been known to break at the tip or shaft and destroy the motors. Check the forums if you need to see the pictures and results of a plug falling apart in a motor.

If there was any performance to be gained by choosing another style spark plug, every OEM on the planet would run to it. If they could spend that little to gain power or economy they would be all over it. Frankly most of the "performance" plugs on the market are cheaper than the NGK Iridiums that Nissan uses. So they could save money and add performance... Well Nissan isn't changing to a different plug for a reason.

It's my understanding the stock plugs in the Versa are already pricey plugs. You're not gonna gain horsepower or mileage just from putting in a different spark plug unless you've modified the engine to the point where it actually is necessary. Most vehicles are still good with just plain old coppers.

Actually going to a copper plug will slightly increase the spark yield which may have a slight (very slight on such a low power motor) increase. Problem is with the high spark voltage Nissan runs, the copper plugs wear out in about 3k miles. The reason they went to the Iridium tips was because regular plugs can't remain reliable under the cylinder temps and spark voltage they use. The Iridium tips will outlast the rest of the plug unless you have something that causes physical damage to it. Like people that think they can gap or check the gap on an Iridium plug. They come from the factory pre-gapped and if you check the gap on them you scar the very thin Iridium coating and destroy the plug.
