Why would your spark plugs burn oil? their supposed to burn gas. you must be confused unless you put gas in your block and oil in your gas tank!

[raceline]

i would run either ngk or nippendenso , bosch ( german plugs ) do not work well in toyotas and nissans , stick to an oe mfg.

bosch
is a good plug if your truck is from detriot, but our trucks dont do well on them, like raceline said, go with the NGK's either platinum or iridium

i 3rd the ngks! best around.. if your a ballar and feel like spending 80 bucks on new plugs but the ones the sti uses. those suckers will give you some sparK! haha.

[houdini]

go with OEM plugs.

this may also come in handy.

do not put bosch platinum in nissans, yota's, japanese for that matter. my long time buddy/mechanic says its a no-no. use Denso everything.

Any specific reason why? I've used bosch plats in a lot of motorcycles/cars/trucks, japanese, british, american, pretty much you name it. Never had a problem, but I have seen Bosch plugs that cross reference to NGK's but have a slightly different reach (not enough in that case to matter much).

i work on cars and almost every time some one come in w/ a check eng light after a tune-up its got bosch plug in it. its something to do w/the heat range of the plug... pay the extra and put oem plugs in it. you will be happier in the long run.

Are you saying you've identified a causal relationship between the bosch plugs and the check engine light? What trouble code did the computer report?

I've run bosch plugs in lots of vehicles, and never had a check engine light come on because of it. Which is why I ask.
