2 different types of spark plugs???
Hello
Proud owner of 2 W208 chassis ('03 CLK430 and '02 CLK55amg, both cab), and 1st time posting.
The AMG had a cyl 6 misfiring and the MBZ mec told to replace the pair of wire and definitely all 16 plugs; I purchased them ( Bosch OEM Spark Plug # 0242230500 / FR8DPP33+) from AMZN.
I went to p/u the car and mec told me that "the plugs were not the same. 10 of EXACTLY what you ordered came in a sealed box but the other 6 were different but in the right box." Clearly they were switched (by mistake) while being packed.
My ??? is: will this affect the car negatively? or should I correct the situation immediately?
I should add that the misfiring is gone so far and the MBZ mec said not to worry about it.

the mechanic noticed the plugs were different part numbers and still did the replacement?? I would have messaged the seller and got them replaced with the correct part before installing them...
