Need help fast: which spark plugs: Autolite plat or NGK plat or Bosch +2

Tomorrow is the only day I work on this.

My local shops don't have OEM bosch, I don't want to pay $12 from the dealer (is this a scam or what)!

What other plug(s) do you recommended?


I have an advance auto parts nearby and a pep boys.

Any problems with Bosch +2?

Use only what is suggested by MB. No others!! There are reasons unless you think you are smarter than the engineers!!

I agree with you, but Bosch recommends the platinum +2 also.


I'm sure many people here have other than OEM in their cars.

Sosh, I can't get them today, the dealer is closed. Today is the only day I have free to do this, for a while.

Thats poor planning!! Do it at a later date with the correct plugs or do it twice!! Better yet take it to the dealer and have them do it

Well it was because of problems at work and my days off were changed. I'm trying to make time next weekend.

Where can I order the OEM plugs, I dealer wants $12+ for them. I'd rather use Denso Iridiums for that price, the Denso's they cost less!

I've never read about a problem with the Denso plugs...

Hi, 280.

I've ordered with good results from both autohausaz.com and autopartswarehouse.com. Both have excellent prices, OEM and aftermarket parts and offer free ground shipping at the $50 price point. The former is out west and the latter is back east, so I'd go with whichever is closest to you for the fastest results.

They also have the iridiums at around $13 if you want to go that route. I've got the twin plug beast so I will probably stay with the +4s. CHA CHING!

Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg
