Question
my manual says the spark plug number for my malibu 2002 V6 3.1L is # 41 940 and when i went to get in one of the shops they showed me thru their computer that the right number is # 41 101. some mechanics say 41 940 others 41 101. confused. Need your help which one to use /which is the proper spark plug. thanks

Answer
Hi Gary,
I did a Google search for each of those....one is platinum, and the other is Iridium.

The Iridium claims to take the heat better, and last longer, but I have no personal experience with either.
I'd almost bet that the average person couldn't tell any difference.

I have been maintaining a fleet of approximately 55 light, medium and heavy vehicles for over 20 years. Most are 4X4 pickups and off road fire fighting trucks. Some medium duty trucks. Some military light trucks. I can answer most questions concerning 4X4 engine, drive line, suspension, electrical, and fuel, both diesel and gasoline. Ford, GM, and Dodge, old and new, but prefferably not newer than 99.
