My owners manual lists Champion RC8PYP or equivalent. I've always used Bosch but I hear a LOT of people rave about NGK plugs and might try the NGK laser plugs when my car is due for a new set. The gap should be 0.80mm (0.0315").

Plastic cover comes off with a torx bit. Remove the old plugs and put the new ones in. They should be torqed to 18.4 ft lbs - not crazy tight.
