LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Autolite has announced that the company’s Iridium XP Enhanced Alloy Technology spark plugs are now backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty against electrode wear and defects in materials and workmanship.

Autolite is the first spark plug manufacturer to move to a Lifetime Limited Warranty to keep pace with newer vehicle reliability and the enhanced technology in Autolite Iridium XP plugs, according to the company.

These premium Autolite spark plugs are available for most domestic and import cars and trucks, offering more than 95 percent coverage, through a wide variety of automotive parts suppliers and aftermarket retail outlets. The Autolite Iridium XP plug incorporates an iridium-enhanced 0.6 mm finewire design, a V-trimmed ground electrode and proprietary platinum sidewire technology to offer excellent durability, better ignitability and more reliable performance compared to standard plugs.
