    Oops! I forgot to filter! The ones for my Corolla were $6. The ones for the Prius are the 4501s, and go for $17.99 each.

    BOsch plugs suck. Google

    Bosch plugs suck

    Lots of comparisons between Bosch and NGK guess which one wins. Seriously I 5hought everyone knew the +4 was a horrible gimmick.

    My two Corollas and an Accord beg to differ.

    It’s difficult to quantify any real savings or efficiency gains from gimmick spark plugs. If there was a real improvement, the auto manufacturers would install them in the factory because they need All the technology they can get to meet the ever increasing mileage standards. This is also true for snake oil aftermarket additives. Manufacturers only recommend regular oil changes using a specific weight or type. With Regular oil changes, todays engines will last forever. The rest of the vehicle will wear out first.
