Default which plugs to use on the 20v motor? Search says 'F6DTC Bosch'

my searching shows those as tri-prong plugs. Dad's going to order the plugs for the CQ, but was having trouble finding them locally.

My past experiences and reading others experiences have shown that multi-prong plugs are bad news... but that's from 8/10v engines... not 16/20v engines that seem to use these.

Default thanks... but no thanks.... not ordering from the US and shipping to Canada.

I do not like being raped by brokerage and duties.

Default tri electrodes are what it came from the factory with. Some have reported bad experiences with the

platinums and p4 plugs(4 electrode) but the copper tri electrodes are best for a stock car, and even 034 has reported better results with these plugs over some "performance" plugs.

Not sure where to get them in Canada though...

Default Re: spark plugs for the 20v motor...

<center><img src="http://images.wrenchead.com/smartpages/partinfo_resize/NGB/NGK5688-1.jpg"></center><p>...I've had good success with these:

NGK "Iridium IX" BKR6EIX

The best part is there available at Canadian Tire!

Cdn Tire P/N: 18-4772-8

You'll see them listed when you look up this engine at Canadian Tire (or see them listed below also)

$19.99/pair

IIRC, I also use them in my V6.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ngkiridium.com/">NGK Iridium IX®...</a></li></ul>
