Honda OEM plugs are ~$22 per plug. Apparently "aftermarket plugs can throw codes because they have different amounts of platinum" per the service advisor that told me I shouldn't run anything other than OEM in my car. Jackasses.

The plugs actualy cost 16.80 HONDA Retail. Your dealer is porking you!! They are platinum plugs. They are recommended too be changed at 105,000 miles. The plugs for the 2001 ex is A Denso plug. Denso # PKJ20CR-M11.

I bought Bosch quad plugs for $6 each. Just go to pepboys, tell em your car and get the right plugs. didnt have to adjust crap.

I suggest you use an torch wrench if you dont know waht ur doing.
