I'm pretty sure its time to change my plugs.

Gonna play it safe and changed them out.

I replaced the ones in my Maxima with the Bosch 4 prong platinum plugs. They were a bit pricy, but really good. I'm going to change the ones in the CL to those when they are due. I just got them at Pepboys.

I'm putting in a set of the Bosch4 Plats tomorrow or saturday.... i'll let you know.

I put them in my 93 Probe (when it had 150K), and the improvement was great. You can count on the fact that the dealer didn't replace them. They are supposed to be good to 100K, but from what I've heard, if you wait that long, they're pretty shot.

As for price, I got mine for $4 each, but that was a "good price" from my friends shop... from past experience, they're worth it.

I'll let you know.....

I have heard the Bosch4 plugs arent that good in our cars...cant remember why exactly - someone may chime in. But I do know that the NGK Iridiums have gotten nothing but praise - and that I what I have. $6/plug off Ebay or at some local Auto parts shops.

This is what I think European plugs for European cars, USA plugs for USA cars, Japanese plugs for japanese cars and so on. Oh, I use RSX type S plugs.

I just put Bosche plat. 4's in my car. I been getting missfire codes, didn't feel like dropping another $80 on the Denso's, and Bosche 4's are 1/3 the price of the Denso's.

Hmm... $36? Didn't know NGK had Iridium plugz. Once, or if the Bosch's start missfiring, I'll try the NGK's.

Ya this is who I got mine from

Very good plugs and last 100k miles vs. 30 or 40k for the Denso Iridiums.

Can't go wrong with the OEM plugs, unless you are forced induction.

as a matter of fact just changed out my Integra's plugs today.
