Default Spark plugs

What are some good spark plugs to buy for my car? I bought Bosch Platnum +2 plugs but my dad said those aren't too good of plugs. So my question is what is a good plug and are the plugs I bought crap? thanks

I will only use Autolite or Motorcraft plugs in Ford vehicles, in both my own and my customer's cars. I have found that I usually have comebacks if I use anything else.

Oh Good Lord Yes 5.0s hate those Bosch Plats
They don't work well in most big American 6s and 8s
I can't tell you how many times I've "fixed" these engines by pulling out the Bosch Plats

Just go with stockers Ford/Autolites

what retard told you to get bosch plugs??

and autolite is a brand.. just walk into a part store and ask for "autolight copper 25's"

most companies use the part number "25" for them... like advance autoparts, or autozone
