Use the Bosch platinum 1s, All the Bosch plugs are pregapped to proper spec. they are roughly $4 a plugs, anything more is a waste of money

Hello Pinoy,

pardon the delay, AZautohaus has them and they seem to have the best price and should have free shipping as well. Remember, if you are doing plugs you must also do plug wires (those also wear out over time). Also its dual plug per cylinder so there is a total of 16 plugs & 16 plug wires. AZ autohaus sells plug & wires for roughly $220-240 shipped. Hope that helps.

It gives me an awesome feeling after changing 16 spark plugs and 16 plug wires in a V8 plus save me a ton of money doing them myself!! It makes changing the 4 plugs in the Subaru outback like a walk in the park!!
