just wondering if the above plugs are decent compared to the OEM NGKs for my '95 max?

EDIT; just wanted some sympathy, for that i hit a buck way taller than my car. Damage: hood, Rt. headlight, windshield, side mirror, and door. just about cried.

 

If you are on a budget, buy the copper NGKs. Sorry about your car

 

I used the bosh plats on my car cause the auto parts store didnt have anything else. they worked fine for me.

 

I used Bosch +4 plugs for 60k, and they were fine. I agree with Jeff though, for how easy they are to change, I'd use the NGK v-powers or copper plugs for the money.

 

I used bosch and my car hesitated & missed until I found a store with NGK coppers, now it runs great

 

I now have Bosch plats cos I couldn't find NGK and I'd rather fit a flint wheel than use Champion. They've been fine so far.

 

NGK all the way, only 70 for 6 OEM plugs.

 

That's what im running, and they seem to work fine.....Still good gas mileage

 

I use the Bosch +4's...swear by them.

 

I've had my OEM NGK platinum plugs since day 1 and the car runs like a champ. They were taken out last March and cleaned on a wheel.

I'll replace them one of these days with the identical plugs - no coppers for me.

I'm sure I'll get flamed, but I passed emissions testing in December with no problem and my fuel economy is as good as its ever been and there is absolutely no miss or hesitation at WOT.

 

just wondering why is this......i am using denso iridium......ngk coppers worked better....but least these thigns will last forever

 

so what should i buy, bosch or NGK????

 

Why don't you listen to the moderator?

 

personally i have NGK plugs... put them in back in 70k, now i have 140k on the car and still running great.

lol

 

how long do they last? NGK cooper

 

i think either one would be more. Moreover your own preference. The difference would be minor i doubt you would notice. Price and avalibility would matter i guess.

Ive used both for years, havent had a prob with either.

 

thank you all, for your testimonial. much appreciated.

 

Personally, I have experienced nothing but problems with the Bosch +4 plugs in my MAX. I put them in when they first came out. I almost had to have the car towed after driving about 20 miles. Driveability problems. Same with a friends Hyundai and an Accord. Still wailting for my refund from BOSCH and they are located only about 6-7 miles from home. Chicago burbs. I personally would go with the NGK plats (yes they are pricey - NAPA carries them, discounted and even more if you are a AAA member) or you can try the NGK copper less than $2.00 each also at NAPA. The Plats last 50,000 to 60,000 miles. I have heard about 25,000 on the copper. Shouldn't take more than about 30-35 mins to change them. No problems with the coppers that I put in about 10,000 miles ago. I have 190,000 miles on my MAX. NGK seem to work best in anything from Japan. Don't waste your time and money on the others.

 

i had a set of the bosch plats that i took out some time ago and was thinking i did so prematurely. so before cleaning/reinstalling, i wanted to get opinions on them. in the end, time was a limiting factor, so i went to checker and bought NGK cheapos that have a "V" groove in the electrode. time will tell for sure if i made a bad plug choice, i think.

 

I currently have bosche platinum 4's and they work fine. Havent had any complaints since I installed them.

 

same here for the platinum +4s, got them and they work great for me

 

Most say copper plugs replace every 30k, and 60k for platinum plugs.

 

I have Bosch + 4's with about 70,000 miles on them and still running strong.

 

coppers...
