I agree with Rob (Aye Roll), but you'll probably get a ton of Opinions stated as Facts. Lots of subjective claims such as "Platinums suck", "poor performance with X", yadda, yadda, yadda....

IMO, plug favorites are like the old Ford vs Chev (Chev vs Ford?) controversy. If there was truly a "bad" plug out there, over time it would be improved or withdrawn, and the "best" would rise to the top of the heap. Except that advertising and the the rumor mill usually muddy things up

I've used OE Volvo (Champions from Belgium), NGK, Bosch Supers, and Bosch Platinum singles, with no major highs or lows. If anything, I'd lean toward Platinums where the engine might to go unattended for long periods, having seen a couple of cases with 30,000+ of neglect still running reasonably well.

Just my .02¢
