PLugs for S70GLT? S70 1999

Does anyone know where to get plugs for a lpt S70GLT? The manual says, champion rc8pyp. I went to schucks and they didnt have it. In fact GI Joes, Walmart, and schucks all wanted to steer me to autolite which i dont think much of.

I was thinking of trying napa. I wouldnt mind finding a copper plug in bosch or nd, or ngk but not autolite. The dealer says no platinum in a turbo.

I dont really want to spend big bucks on plugs if its not necessary. I have heard of people using non eom and that seems to work fine but i wanted some opinions.

Any ideas? Is champion good? any part numbers for non eom plugs? like ngk, or nd, or bosch in copper?

    Topic: S70 GLT spark plugs. So far what i learned is that prices vary alot and plugs might make a difference in driveability. I tried going to napa and they said bosch fr6dc are no longer stocked or sold. Darn! napa did say they had a cross as in ngk so i thought i would try those out. I had to special order and they were $1.89 a plug. Cheaper then eom and i hope just as good.

    I have a turbo so i went for the copper rather than plat. plug. The dealer keeps saying dont use a plat. plug.

    I drive mostly city so i am changing plugs at nearly 20k miles. I try change them when the tip starts to erode.

    I will post my driveability findings when i try these ngk's out. Thanks for all those who posted. You have been a great help!!!

    Andrew,

    I got a set of Bosch platinum at AutoZone for $2.99 each. Make sure that you gap them correctly.

    I've heard NOT to use them in the turbo. But, I've had them for several thousand miles and get 18-21 city and 24-28 hi-way. Throttle response seems excellent as does 0-60 times.

    Car has @60K miles and original cap/rotor and plug wires.

    Buy them at the dealer. I bought a set Friday, come in a blister pack of 5 for under $20.00 Cdn. Unless you are miles from a dealer, I don't know why anyone would use anything other than the OEM plugs. Set of plugs is less than a tank of gas........
