Need help choosing right spark plug...

I went to AutoZones's website and it gives me 18 choices for plugs? Just wondering what brand or type of plug is recommended for the 5th gens?

Thanks, T

Simply, you can install the OEM recommended plugs which are NGK platinum.
Check your owners manual.

Only use NGK brand plugs. Copper (V-Power) or Platinum.

You'll hear a lot of differing opinions, but the majority of folks say that japanese cars work best with japanese plugs. I wouldn't waste your time with anything else.

I'm going with the copper NGKs. That is what I run in my 500 hp NA 2003 Corvette, too. The part number NGK lists for my Maxima is LFR5A-11.
