spark plugs
 
Hi all, has anyone used the new bosch platinum 4's on a 2001 Accord four
cylinder or should I stick with the NGK's recommended by my dealer ?
Thanks for your opinions.

In my experience, NGK spark plugs are much better than Bosch.

NGKs are good, I also recommend Denso. Forget about SpiltFire plugs, they
work well when you first put them in, but cause problems later.

I can't tell you how many times iv'e seen hondas come in with random
misfire codes and the culprit is usually the bosch +4 plugs.... use
the factory plugs.

I once had the hex head shear off a Bosch.
That was the last one I bought.

NGK's aren't bad.

Factory plugs can be NGK, Champion, Denso, etc. It's whatever meets the
spec. of the engine. I prefer regular Denso plugs and have not had any
problems with them.
