Spark plug Bosch or OEM Toyota

Bosch Spark plug

I purchased from a local auto parts store for my 07 E550 and SO's 05 E55 - stealership quoted around $1k, parts for each with Bosch Iridium plugs was about $125. Installed new plugs at around 70k for the E550 and OE plugs (also Bosch) looked clean and the gaps were spot-on

Pros: plugs looked clean, gaps spot-on
Mileage: 70000 km

I recently just replaced my spark plugs they were past due. So I bought the OE Bosch 9683. The engine runs fine, starts easy, no misfiring, no rough running. But after the plug change I am getting much worse millage.

Pros: engine runs fine, starts easy
Cons: worse millage
Vehicle: Mazda 5
Mileage: 108500 km
Part number: 9683

Also, some engines get particular about plugs. Bosch has a bad rep for the 3400 engine in my Grand Am, while NGK and AC Delco(I've got NGK Iridium IXs in there now) are fine.

Pros: NGK plugs are fine
Cons: Bosch has bad rep

Champion is OEM and what we suggest at work, but NGK has never failed us with any application. Bosch is generally terrible and we only use them if it’s a very specific application.

Pros: NGK never failed
Cons: Bosch generally terrible

Although I prefer Bosch sensors over other brands in certain parts of my Mk 5 2.5, I will not buy Bosch spark plugs. Many professional mechanics over the last 3 decades have told me horror stories about them.

Cons: horror stories, engine problems
Vehicle: Volkswagen
