Best choice of plug for my w202 ?

It's time to change all 12 of my spark plugs (1998 C280). What spark plugs do you recommend ?

4418 PLATINUM+4 M112.920; Do not Gap

4301 PLATINUM2 M112.920; Do not Gap

I already answered... the ones you get at the dealership. Those are on your list... "O.E. SPARK PLUG" and generally when you get them at the dealership, you will not have to gap them (I double check them anyhow because sometimes they get dropped even with the little cardboard shield).

p.s. those are all platinums because that is all that is recommended for your car. The +2 and +4 are NOT recommended. Check your dealership. Or don't... then I recommend getting the PLATINUM +4.
