Default Spark Plug Preferences

12V.org lists 2 different plug recommendations....which do you use?? Going to replace mine (2.8 V6) this weekend and am on the fence.

Like the idea of German parts in a German car...haha.

12V.org lists Bosch F6DTC and NGK BKUR6ET-10 as the best matches. It also mentions that the 12V engine was designed to use tri-electrode plugs.

I used to use NGK's in my CRX...loved them, so I have no issues using them at all.

I've got the bosch F6-DTC's and I've got no issues. Maybe you had issues Crazy Russian cause the plug temp was the wrong setting for your car...Just a thought.

I've ONLY run W7DTC's in the 10v's and F6DTC's in the 20v's. I did run the NGK's in the 12v however. I've only ever had an issue with the +4 platinum's for the 20v. Never one issue with Bosch copper (super) plugs.
