My wife has a 2010 RTS SE5 and I have a 2013 RTS SE5. Which Gold Plugs do we need and how many? I want to start doing my own oil changes and save some money.

Thanks
Rick

Go on their website and there's a place to tell you the plugs based on year, make and model/

You can get the pair together on Ebay
I'll see if I can find a link. But double check the partnumbers to be sure.

Here ya go.

FYI, I do not agree with using Gold Plugs on the engine...

Here is why...

:shocked: Bob,
Now you're going to have ALL of us worrying about (and fighting over), the various deficiencies of all of the better-known aftermarket options. :banghead:

Bob, I get the impression that you are sponsored by Marlboro, based on the subliminal appearances during the video. How much do you get from them? :roflblack:

I must respectfully disagree with Finless Bob's concerns about the gold plugs. I put them on my previous ST-S and now have them on my F3-S with no problems. I would highly recommend them over the OEM hex plugs.

:D I've got a set sitting here in my desk: waiting for the next oil change...
I got them after hearing the concerns about the Dimple plugs breaking... :shocked:

After all this I may go back to the oem grind down the edges to match a socket....:roflblack::roflblack:

I put them on my last oil change. True, the stock plug has a magnet but the Gold plug magnet is about 10 times stronger. It is a little longer because the gold plug crush washer is thicker. So now I have 2 powerful magnets instead of one weak one and the future oil changed will be easier because of a standard bolt instead of worrying about damaging that hex plug with a Allen wrench. When you order the Gold plugs, go ahead and get a pack of crush washers with them, so you can replace them on future changes.

Hi AY4B,

Re: When you order the Gold plugs, go ahead and get a pack of crush washers with them, so you can replace them on future changes.

If you order a full oil-change kit from BajaRon they come with new crush washers.

I would say the stock magnet works perfectly fine!
