Good question,I was looking to replace plugs also. I don't know the answer, hopefully someone who does will chime in.

******** lists 3 plugs:

4501
Bosch
Spark Plug; IR Fusion+4; Iridium/Platinum with Four Electrode
16 per engine Patented fused iridium and platinum center electrode for better than OE Iridium performance. $20.20 $6.52


4418
Bosch
Spark Plug; Platinum+4; 4 Electrode
16 per engine Pregapped for normal usage. Not recommended for supercharged or turbo models. $13.80 $4.86


7422
Bosch
Spark Plug; Platinum; Standard Electrode; OE Plug
16 per engine Updated version of OE spark plugs F8DPER and F8DPP33. Pregapped for normal usage. $17.95 $4.37

7422 seems to be "OEM'.



Does anyone know what would be one heat range colder? For example would a 4417 be one heat range colder or hotter than a 4418?



Regards,
Jerry
