Default Magnecor and E3 Spark Plugs

Just got both my ignition wires and e3 spark plugs. Going to install them this week. This is my first time using e3 spark plugs and not most people know about them. Can anyone tell me more about them that has been using them for awhile?

I use them in my lawn mower (5 years on the same plug), chain saw, snow blower (6 years same plug) and my wifes Volvo...they are GREAT!!
I had installed them into my truck with Kingsbourne plug wires, she ran great for awhile and then started to run rough at a hot idle, only hot idle and not any other time.
So I removed them and installed cheap copper plugs, ran better but still not great.
So I then installed the Magnecor plug wires and AutoLite Iridium spark plugs and she runs great.
I have not put the E3's back into the truck yet to see if it was the plugs or the wires.
In my wifes car our mpg went up from the low 30's on the expressway to the mid 30's.
They are a excellent spark plug and I dont think my hot idle problem was spark plug related.

Putting the cart in front of the horse on this one. Should have checked to see if anyone has used them first.
Take them back and get what works, either Bosh Platinum Plus 4's or Champion Dual Platinum's.
Make sure to use anti seize on the threads.

There are more than one spark plug that will work in our trucks.
You dont have to go with the "status que", how do you think the rest of the worrld gets along?
Throw the E3's in and tell us what you think, they have a lifetime moneyback gaurentee so if you dont like them 6 mon ths from now no big deal.
Mine are still in my garage I have just been to lazy to put them back in.

I'm a bit confused about the "anti-seize", but E3 spark plugs is one of the featured sponsors on this forum. If it's not something that works effectively should the forum be endorsing something like that? Help me understand here.

Get some copper grease also called anti-seize and put in on your spark plug threads so they are easy to remove next time.

I guess the owners of this board are into making money. I don't blame them. None of us who post hear are anywhere near to being this site's owner/operator.
