Exclamation Are these correct plugs: Bosch 4504 PLATINUM IR FUSION for M103 3.0

My local dealer was out of F8DC4 spark plugs and they insisted Bosch 4504 will work just fine. They are Bosch Platinum IR Fusion 4504 and were much cheaper... worrying... Changing my wires, rotor and distributor on my 3.0 M103 on the 1987 300E. Please leave your thoughts. Thanks!

Stick with the old Bosch Super spark plugs. The old engines don't like the newer fandangle tipped plugs

The wrong typeof plug can cause other problem in the electronic system, that will fail in a short time

Does anyone have a source for non-resistor plugs? Bosch doesn't even make the ones recommended for my 1987 260E. Haven't found a replacement yet.
