i think Tischer sells plugs too.

don't get any colder plugs as they haven't been proven to make any difference.

stick with OEM.

It's the samething. The interesting thing is on www.sparkplugs.com you can get like a autolite brand plug for $6.69 each. So its like $40 + shipping.

I would assume Bosch is a better plug though.
