Yep - OEM are just fine. Little or no benefit to the more exotic and heavily marketed plugs, but as mentioned, there have been reported issues with them.

IMHO, longevity in a spark plug is a false saving. You should pull your plugs regularly as they are a good indicator of overall engine health, and you want to check the 'O' rings periodically too. Using ultra long-life plugs has a tendency to cause owners to ignore them for too long.

Cheers!

I was advised today regardless of what plug you're using to avoid platinum plugs and stick with copper plugs since copper is a better conductor of electricity and will give you better power and throttle response.
