				Platnium plugs
			 
			
			
			Is it ok to use Bosch platnium plugs in the M-class? If so, what is the correct gap? 
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Thanks....  |

			I believe they are like all other M112 V6's and are supposed to run on platinum plugs. 
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
		
			Gillybenztech moderates the ML, G-wagen, and Unimog forum, and I would probably repost this over there.

			I believe that the ML320, ML430 and ML500 all take Bosch F 8 DPER plugs, 2 per cylinder, $6.03/ea. from FastLane. 
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Check your owner's manual for gap but I suspect they will come with the correct gap.  |

			Good point. I completely forgot. 
		
		
		
			
				I ran platinums in my Maxima and in my G20, and I notice that platinum plugs always come pre-gapped.
