on my 2003 path finder vq35 engine , I never knew it came with Platinum plugs . most cars come with Iridium , which they say are good for over 100,ooo miles
how long can a platinum plug go before it needs to be changed.

The change interval is every 105,000 MI. The proper plug to use is NGK PLFR5A-11. Don't use any other brand as possible driveability problems could occur.

OK , are these plugs NGK PLFR5A-11. Iridium or Platinum ? thanks for the information
I'm really amazed they last for 105,000 miles, its close to the Iridium's lasting 150,000 miles , any way its a plus not to change the plugs every 20 - 30,000 like those regular standard plugs , Thanks for the information .
Platinums are far more common as they've been used for quite a while before iridium plugs were introduced. I agree to stick with the NGK plugs. The plug listed is the original equipment plug and is an NGK laser platinum. NGK also sells their G-platinum and Iridium IX plugs at a lower cost, which will both work but recommended replacement is 60000 miles.

Do you know why there are problems with other brands ?
Theories ?
