Be original, get some Bosch F5DTCs. Or, wait until someone tells you what NGK plug to get.

Or even better, introduce yourself to the Search button in the upper right hand corner of the webpage. That will provide you with all sorts of insights if you are creative enough to type 'spark plugs' and query the right forum.

Gap them to .028 if that's what you're asking. And I use NGK coppers if the store has them in stock, otherwise as long as it sparks, it will do the trick.

ngk bkr7e is the bomb plug. i just double check the gaps to make sure they are all the same. it has the v shaped primary electrode. fancy metals in spark plugs is over rated in my opinion. just use good old copper and change them every year.
