ZAYED,,
I guess you pay the extra $$$ for the iridium name. Are they really necessary for a "normal" engine? A OE platinum plug is sufficient for me and costs 1/4 of the price of the other supposedly superior type plugs. I wonder if the difference is justified...

The OE uses "4" #s:

1) 004 159 50 03 ($9.5)
2) 003 159 94 03 ($14)
3) 004 159 19 03/26 ($13.8)
4) HW A 001 159 09 03 ($21)


* when i asked the local dealer why prices are different with those "4"#s, they said the high price for the NGK iridium & the low one for the

Bosch platinum, and also AMG recommended the iridium NGK with all there models,, when i purchased the AMG "HW A 001 159 09 03", i

discovered its NGK iridium BKR5EXI, and the price is ($21) each.........


ZAYED,,

We all positively knows, the spark plug never gives any kind of power or hp, but the important thing that what kind of material can lets the

plugs more survival & resist the heat...!?!?,, the dealer want’s you to purchasing a new plugs from them always,, for that they uses a normal

& Platinum plugs, cause if they provides a good heat resistance iridium plugs like "NGK or Denso", it well still more than 60,000, then you well

NOT come to get a new set of there plugs EASLY, {spare parts strategy}.......

S600 uses "2" kind of plugs,

1) Bosch Platinum "FR7KPP33U+", "004 159 14 03" code: {14}, around ($8.5)

2) NGK Iridium "IFR6Q", "004 159 14 03 " code: {220}, around ($15)
