Counterfeit AC Delco Spark Plugs

[15Yukon]

I don’t know if this has been mentioned but I acquired some “AC Delco” spark plugs off eBay for $38, once I had them I compared them to the current OEM plugs and noticed a lot of differences. I noticed Amazon has the same looking plugs, I know between Amazon and EBay there are 1000’s of sets sold so I would check yours. I did not take a pic of the top of the plug but the AC Delcos will have a marking on them (2 dots and a line under them). There is no way the counterfeits perform as well as OEM, fake is on the right and youll see a lot of differences, mainly the shorter electrode and the missing of the “puck” on the bottom like the originals do

Car parts are something I wouldn’t buy online. Especially parts that usually have a long life. In my are there’re part stores that have lifetime warranty’s. I personally would buy my tune up parts at the dealership. Simply because how long they last. Unless I don’t plan on keeping the vehicle a long time. Then one of the lifetime discount part stores will do.

There are better places than the dealer, Rock Auto for one. Advance Auto had OEM plugs in stock and after their coupon it was $58. I threatened the ebay seller of the fake plugs and he immediately refunded me, he didn't even want his plugs back

I hope you left feedback on the item indicating they were counterfeit, as well as negative seller feedback...
