I have the "stock" plats from the dealership. I put stock in quotes because stock heat range is 5, and for some reason I was sold 6. I have my gap at around .038.

What about BOSCH? Is it good or not for a 96' max. I bought platinum4+, and at first look it seems run great.

What do you think?

Thanks

Ive heard only bad things about Bosch plugs. Stick with Coppers or NGK plats
