You can get NGK or Bosch plugs on rockauto for around $10. Not sure which was OEM, some like NGK for Mercedes in general but Bosch tends to be the OEM maker of plugs for MB.
I recently changed my spark plugs on 2012 Ford Focus. I used Bosch and got a 3 MPG boost.
Motorcraft is all I use , heard to many stories about aftermarket plugs causing misfires
Since I mounted Bosch 4-prong spark plugs, fuel economy has improved a lot. Gone from 12-13 km/l to nearly 15 km/l.
I have only used Bosch plugs in my cars, and I have not had any issues with them yet.
They're both fine brands, I doubt you'll notice a difference. NGK is most likely OEM for your Civic, but it's not like Bosch is bad, they're OEM in my BMW.
The Neuspeed chips don't perform well at all, and the 2.0's do best with BOSCH FR8DS's.
Warning about Bosch spark plugs!!! The piece of ceramic around the electrode failed. These were in a 2018 sonata turbo for about 10k miles. Thank God it didn't fall in...
Ive used bosch irridium plugs as replacement for the original denso ones in my GFs 2015 yaris and the car started to have misfires (noticable shuddering) within a couple of weeks. The bosch part is listed as compatible with the OE number, but issues nonetheless. I'm currently going through the warranty process and definately wont be using anything other than the direct denso replacement.
Yeah I own and operate an auto repair facility and refuse to use Bosch plugs because I’ve had a lot of issues with them in the past. Misfires mostly.
