I got a a set of 8 Iridium plugs for my LS1 on ebay for $60 posted, but I don't think they make or recommend them for the V6.
Just look up your car on the NGK site and order what they recommend, it takes seconds so I'll even do it for you.

Only difference between iridium and platinum plugs is how log they last.

If your plugs need to have other parts removed like a lot of FWD V6 engines put iridiums in as they should last over 100,000km in most instances.

If not use platinum.

Yes , I want to install the iridium , because they run cleaner ( less deposits ) , and last longer ( last set of plugs for the car )
I dont expect ill do 100,000km , so why not ?
