I'm using OEM right now because theres no need to change em yet. I'm probably gonna upgrade my plugs in the future to whichever plugs get voted more according to this poll.

I have used all the plugs listed besides the NGK platinum. Right now the stock ones are in the car. I put them back after my last set of NGK's since I only used them for 15k before swapping them

I am using NGK Iridium plugs. There's no reason why I am using them other than they are 60k mile plugs. Its nice to know you don't have to change them every 25k or 30k miles like some of the others. As far as plugs are concerned, there's no reason to change them unless they have not been changed or if they are near the end of their life.

NGK coppers BKR6E-11 Unless your running some crazy FI then you might want to go 2steps colder, other than that you'll be fine with those Don't use platinum's The reason platinums cost more is because they can hold the gap for many miles, they don't give better spark than copper. Actually, copper is a better conductor than platinum. Just change your plugs every time you change your oil and you'll be fine. The coppers are like $10 for 4.

wow, seems a little extreme to chage your plugs every 3000 miles? i dont know what plugs are in my car i remember when i took one out it had four tips (not sure what to call the pice of metal that folds over) anyway theyve been in there 30,000+ miles and they're still stong, i want to use the same ones again. anyone know which they could be (i know i can go take one out i'm lazy...)

Bosh+4s are working great on my car. I figured I give them a try and I have no complaints.
