Over priced and over rated. Just like the iridium plugs.

It all depends on how often you change your oil and filters. I assume you plan to keep that 10k oil filter on through several oil changes i figure at least 3 are 4?
If you change it every 3k are 5k miles a regular duty oil filter is just fine. If you keep a check on the oil you can tell it is getting dirty and starting to break down. I have had my PT for nearly 4 months now i have only put 2000 miles on it the dealer changed the oil before i got it and the oil looked new it already is starting to look bad im getting it changed soon it might make it to 3k but 5k forget it. I plan to use the Castrol GTX high milage 5W-30. Dealer has to use cheap oil.

And Pete, as to fitment, long as they fit in the spark plug well, and attach properly to coil and plug, they should work fine. I'm not sure if the non-turbo head is different than the turbo, probably is, but I would think that Chrysler would only be using one size plug, and one size plug channel. Tag, your thoughts?

I just pruchased a set, so I will do some serious research on how well they perform against the factory wires versus Crane Firewires versus these. After I've run all three for a given number of days (at least two fill-ups on each set), I'll post my findings along with measurements on length, true width (meaning I don't necessarily trust the adverts that say "it's 8.5mm" or whatever), impedance measurements. I'll wrap the wires in a conductive coil and see how much interference they are given off, if any. Couple of heat tests, etc. Would probably be helpful for the PT community for someone to do this, and since I have three sets of wires now I'll volunteer and post the results.

Wires are interchangeable between turbo and N/A.
