Spark Plug recommendations

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by naverillsn001, Sep 30, 2004.

  1. I have a 1984 245 (Wagon), auto trans, 180,000 miles. I'm gonna replace the
    plugs, wondered if anyone had recommendations on a really good brand/type
    for this model.

  6. I have had best luck in many cars with NGK copper core plugs, or the ones
    with the "v" electrode, I have not had good luck with high end bosh plugs.

    I'll second that, good old basic NGK plugs, they just work, anything fancy
    is a gimmick.

    I like the Volvo OEM plugs. The last time I bought them from Toyota Volvo
    Keene the price was competitive with aftermarket plugs and they came ready
    to go, gapped correctly, etc.

    Work like a charm.
