The "O" stands for a larger diameter electrode. If you go to the dealer and order plugs for you car the W9DCO is what you will get.

I have a small supply of the Bosch Super W8DC plugs.

Thanks to the experts like Arthur Dalton, W. Hunter and john, problem solved! ( I dont know what us amutaurs would do without them) Thanks again, bought some nkg bp5es and improvement right away! Bosh doesnt show any of the W series on their website, although the dealer does have the O WD. I have had many excellent suggestions from Tech help on the forum and appreciate same.
