Mercury Optimax Spark Plugs

[Stoty]

Does anyone know where I can get the PLATINUM NGK Spark Plugs from? (NGK # IZFR5G)

They are for a 2005 Mercury Optimax (225 HP)

 

I picked up 6 of the regular NGK plugs from CT yesterday, but I believe I should put the Platinum plugs in it, as that is what is recommended.

 

I will be in Toronto today (404/finch), so if there is any place that carries them between Bowmanville - Toronto, I would be able to pop by and get them.

 

Thanks for any help!

Napa, CarQuest or any auto parts store can get you NGK plugs.

Boatland Canada is a Merc dealer and probably has them, or can get them for you.

 

Hwy 115 just north east of Bowmanville

Stoty, order some from a auto parts store that sells NGK plugs. They usually don't stock them because there not for automotive use but they are half the price of a marine dealer. But they usually make you buy the whole box (10). Then you will be stocked up for next time.

best way to do it stoty is always have your serial number handy. So much easier to search for parts

I just found a website that sells plugs and it looks like it is from Canada...

 

http://clubplug.ca/

 

I searched the site for my plug which I bought at a Marina for $18+tax each about 2 months ago, and on this site, which includes free shipping, a box of 10 would only cost me $126.40 + tax. I am so pissed that I had bought 4 for $72+tax.

 

PLUS if you use online coupon code 510101 - you get an additional 5% off.

 

Anyone else use this site in the past?

Thanks for the help guys!

NAPA here in Bowmanville, has them in stock, $19 each.

I just searched on the website and they are $18 each. Good price for sure, and I'll probably order from them the next time I need them.

 

Thanks again!

One word "ebay" and it gave me a lot of sellers selling 6 for under $20.

If you have time to wait for shipping then it's a good option... problem is...being the profession I am, I don't have time to wait. I might just order them for the future though.

 

Thanks again for the tips.

Wow, thanks for the suggestion of using EBAY.

 

I just won an Ebay bid for a lot of 23 of the spark plugs that I paid $18 each for at the Marina for only $50 US which includes $10 in shipping costs. Even with some duty - which may end up not being anything since the guy is shipping it as a "gift", I saved a ton of money.

 

At $18 each, I would have paid $414 for 23 plugs at the Marina. Now, hopefully the motor lasts as long as my supply of plugs.
