OEM SP149125AE Mopar spark plug prices seem to be all over the place right now and i was wondering what people have paid recently and if you trust sources like eBay

Last summer i bought a set for a JK i was doing i paid like $65 on Amazon. The same listing today has 6 sellers starting at $ 98 a set

Contrast that to eBay where you can get " OEM Mopar" from China for like $25 shipped or from US sellers for $35 and up....

Obviously I don't want to overpay, but i also want actual OEM plugs and not knockoff counterfeits

Anybody have reasonable prices AND a trustworthy source?

I just did mine this spring. I put NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plug 6858 from Autozone back in there. $31.00 The old ones had a 100K on them, it does run a lot better with the new ones. probably 8-9 thousand miles so far no issues.

And yes, There are a lot of counterfeit parts out there. It's like a billion dollar market.

Well that's the obvious, but my local Mopar Dodge/Jeep dealer here in the DFW area did not have any and you do realize that NGK makes the plugs for Mopar anyways. As a matter of fact the thermostat and housing I bought from my local Mopar parts department this last spring was a doorman part I could have got the exact same for at autozone for half the price. I know, cause I bought both. They are identical.

Jeep dealers parts on older vehicles is basically drying up. The counter guy said they don't want waste time and money to stock anything over 10+ years and that, that number was shrinking soon.

IMHO NGK iridium plugs are better than the original Champion Iridium plugs. I had an issue with the replacement Champions on a couple of cylinders which went away with the NGK's.
