I tried Bosch plugs in my CiViC and didn't really care for them. I've used Bosch in my domestics for years and they are fine. Don't know what the deal is with the Honda. Feels like I'm 'pushing' it all the time to get it to go. Sorry that I can't be more exact. It's just a feeling, you know?

Anyway, it's always a safe bet going OEM, which is why so many ppl recommend OEM. OEM sucks sometimes, however. When is the last time you saw someone talking up OEM Firestone tires, for instance, or an OEM exhaust manifold, blah, blah, blah?

Having said that, I have been trying different non-OEM plugs in my car lately. The best ones, so far, have been the #318 Champion Copper Plus spark plugs (RC12MC4 to bikers). These things rock! They have a copper core, run great in my CiViC, and are inexpensive.

My philosophy - use copper core spark plugs and change them every 15k-20k miles - NGK or Champion; your choice.
