Double Platinum vs Platinum Plugs
I just went to Autozone to get spark plugs for my 01 CL-P. They sold me platinum plugs (ZFR5FGP) instead of double platinum in the car manual (PZFR5F-11). Is there a significant difference in anything? Wondering if I should go back and get double platinum or iridium. Thanks much!

When I had my car on the dyno the tq curve wasn't the smoothest so I switched the plugs while it was still strapped down on the dyno. I went from ngk laser platinum:4363 to ngk v power:5791 it made a noticeable difference compared to my previous runs. My friend that owned the shop suggested to do it since he had them in stock and uses them on a lot of other cars. I was surprised since those plugs were a lot cheaper.

Your car is NOT running correctly with the V-Power plugs. There is a difference between compatible and correct.
Search over on the TL side, and you will see MUCH more support for not getting the wrong plugs. Stick with the 2 options I suggested.

I looked on acura oem parts and my car calls for (PZFR6E-11) (NGK). I had those in my car originally (4363) then I swapped them out for the 5791's.

Then you swapped them out for the incorrect plugs. NGK Iridium plugs are the ONLY plugs you should run in this engine. The choice is between Iridium IX and Laser Iridium. Both good.
