I talked to my coworker who drives a C320 and he uses "FR8DPP33+" and partnumber is "W0133-1826683". He said the expensive ones really don't make a difference and I remember once I read that those real expensive spark plugs really don't make a difference on Merc as well.

This was maybe 5 -6 years ago that I read this. Maybe technology has changed? Anyone can chime in on the spark plugs if the "high performance" ones really do make a difference for Merc?

I highly doubt it would. I think nothing beats OEM

Thanks

Yeah I'd stick with OEM, I just used NGK G-power. I think some engines came with Bosch +2 and others are NGK G.

Use Bosch OE - no messing with plugs
