Spark plug Motorcraft or AC DELCO
Motorcraft is all I use , heard to many stories about aftermarket plugs causing misfires
I use them. Just replaced a set after they'd lasted 90,000 miles, only to rule out a very very tiny misfire count issue I've noticed lately. I might get a coil pack now, but those original plugs surely would have lasted longer (they say they should last for 100k).
I do run Motorcraft plugs because they seem to crack a little less than the Autolites.
anecdotally, my truck was at 226k when i changed the plugs. motor craft plugs coated, no anti seize, torqued tighter than advised. probably 20lb ft. 2 rear plugs were originals. i’m now at 235k and nothing wrong yet.
I replaced them with AC Delco 14 Platinums, and it seems to be running better.
I’ve found that Motorcraft platinum spark plugs work best in my 1998 Ford Ranger. I tried Bosch plugs and it ran terribly. Nothing but Motorcraft from now on (for Fords).
Just did mine with ac Delco, gapped them in advance and running great!
Standard replacement CR43TS Delco plugs, and a decent brand of wires. Bosch makes nice wires. Our engines don't exactly tax the ignition system, so if it's functional, you don't stand to gain much.
When I got my S60 (2006, T5) the previous owner had some copper AC Delco plugs made to fit an 850 non turbo in it and I wondered why there was very slow engine response.
ditch the delco plugs, they are trash. And delcos are shit plugs.
