Bosch spark plugs from dealership?

Im just wondering how many Nissan Dealerships install Bosh Platinum spark plugs........ I had a 60000 mile service done to my car a while back, and they used Bosch Platinums instead of NGK plugs...... The car runs just fine, but I am just wondering hw many other dealerships use Bosch plugs......

Remove that shi*t!! When i purchase my car he has some Bosh platinium on it and i have hesitation when accelerating full throttle. I change the Bosh sparks plugs to put NGK V-Power copper ones and the trouble is gone. NGK all the way for a VQ!!

When I bought my car it had Bosch Platinum +4 plugs - I changed to NGK platinums after about 3000 miles (60k service) and it didn't feel any different to me - idle was still smooth, acceleration did not hesitate.

I've been getting a knock sensor code.
