Ended up buying OEM plugs from the parts counter, they're not cheap, engine purred after that, no problem.

Bought two auto light from autozone to fix a quick misfire. Used it for two years then took it out and saved it. Quick changed two with the auto light I had previously saved. And bought another one at autozone. 2 years later still running good. Gotten lazy to changed them out. But still running good in my 08.
Pros: long-lasting, reliable

My 2017 VW Jetta 1.4 5M - at 67760 miles on the factory original plugs - now has new Bosch Iridium/Plattinum plugs - (YA5KIP80)..................(the only symptom on the old plugs was a MPG drop - no hard starting, no missing, no rough idle......... EZ
Pros: MPG drop symptom
Now post how much they want to change spark plugs. I've usually seen dealers asking for $200-$250 on a 4 banger. Or I can buy some nice NGK plugs for under $60 and get them changed within my lunch hour in the parking lot.
Pros: nice plugs, easy install
Cons: dealer price is high

Mazda
I run NGK Rutheniums now and they've been excellent handling 30psi of boost with zero blowout even at wider than the .024" gaps that most tuners recommend. Oh and theyre MUCH cheaper at $8/ea vs $40/ea for the NGK race plugs.
Pros: excellent boost handling, zero blowout, much cheaper
I went to colder plugs from ngk and noticed a difference in shift pattern for the better (my car is an auto).
Pros: improved shift pattern

Volkswagen Passat
I don't say for 100% sure but my understanding is that Bosch and NGK are the ones you should use

There is 0 performance or ignition upgrade to the ruthenium compared to motorcraft OEM ones. I tested the 2 back and forth for several weeks and saw no noticeable improvement in either. The car ran the exact same. Rutheniums run like $50 ish a set, motorcraft I can find for around $25 a set, no brainer, motorcraft. I am also stock. Don’t buy into the hype like I did.
Cons: no performance upgrade, expensive
I’ve had almost all of them destroy themselves recently.
A few months ago i had a intermittent misfire appear and went to investigate it but when I popped the hood while it was running, the wire on cyl 3 was literally popping and sucking itself in and out with the spark plug core still on. I took the plug out and the ceramic was moving in and out from the threaded bit. So it was gapping and slamming itself together while running.
I changed the one spark plug cause I had a spare ngk, I forgot about changing the rest and now I have a new misfire….. I can now feel the tick from combustion going thru the wires on cyl 1 and 4. So now 2 spark plugs are starting to do the same thing. I will be changing to ngk plugs now and won’t be touching Bosch.
Cons: destroy themselves, intermittent misfire, ceramic moving, popping/ticking
