Spark plug NGK or OEM Subaru

OEM Subaru Spark plug

The most expensive proposition was a new windshield, but your particular insurance could solve that. Spark plug replacement was a surprise as far as cost is concerned. I've routinely changed the oil and cvt fluid once. No other maintenance issues. I love the car. Incredible roominess in the cabin and very capable offroad when needed.

Pros: no other maintenance issues, capable offroad
Cons: expensive windshield, costly spark plug replacement
Vehicle: Subaru Forester
Mileage: 98000 km

NGK Spark plug

Personally I’m running EQT’s stage 1+ tune and I just went with the recommended plugs (NGK 4905s) for peace of mind. I think it’s worth the extra couple bucks for my sanity

Pros: peace of mind
Part number: 4905S

NGK Spark plug

I stopped buying plugs from eBay and Amazon years ago after getting what I can only assume was a bunk set for my BMW. They looked the part, but caused the engine to run rough.

Pros: looked the part
Cons: engine run rough
Vehicle: BMW
