Hi
I bought aftermarket NGK (ILKR9G8) plugs for my Fiat and to my surprise when I went to change them it was the same exact model number spark plug as the factory installed ones (NGK ILKR9G8)
Lol! Nice try. The point you are making is precisely the reason why I have a Fumoto Quickvalve fitted to the sump on my Saab. It makes oil changes ridiculously easy. Ditch the sump plug and fit one of these:
No mate, never did because both 500's we owned were under warranty up to the point we got rid of them and so I never did an oil change on either car because they were serviced by either a Fiat dealership or an independent Fiat specialist. Basically, I didn't want to find myself in a situation whereby Fiat could use any excuse to invalidate any aspect of the warranty. However, had either car been out of warranty, I certainly would have fitted one. They are in my opinion, a great bit of kit and the one fitted to my Saab saves me a load of hassle and time at each and every oil/filter change.
