Best Spark Plugs?
What's the next best thing in spark plugs beside the dealer? I was looking at NGK as a subsitute because the dealership charging $15 per plugs is way to expensive.

Any sugguestion?

Thanks,

Go to http://www.mercedes-benz-parts-direct.com/

and you can get OEM plugs for half the dealership price or cheaper for other BOSCH/NGK models. I got mine last sept at $7.74 a piece...(OEM ones) and total came to $150 ish...free shipping too over $49 and excellent customer service...they ship via UPS...

Denso Iridiums are a good choice, many AMG owners have gone to them with good results. You can find the plug of your choice at www.sparkplugs.com

Do a search on spark plug replace, there are some DIY posts out there. There's nothing special to replacing plugs other than it takes time, a few knuckle busters, and requires a good set of tools and extensions to get to rear plugs.

If you have changed plugs on others cars before, this job isn't all that different.
