bosch do a standard plug and the one with the 4 bits over the point instead of the one, i dont have a clue if there is any major advantages to this except more metal for the spark to jump too. hope its not been 18 months since you changed the oil lol.

If you change the plugs every 6k, then it's not worth buying the fancy ones, TBH.  It's only worth it, if you're are gonna leave them in there for a while, as they have a longer life than the standard plugs.  (Or if you've got a modded motor).

Denso Iridium's are supposed to be very good.  But is it worth the extra lay out.....???
