You can use NGK BPR6ES-11 as well different gap.

"and in bosch line?"

That would be the VXC35dq-783, but make sure it is in the yellow box. If you use the one that comes in the black box, you will have troubles.

You will sleep now, and when I snap my fingers, you will not remember anything happening here, but you will motor to your local NAPA and purchase NGK BPR6ES. Six of 'em for your trusty Datto. It deserves them! Gap them to 40 but make sure your coil and wires are less than 30,000 miles old and your cap and rotor have less than 10,000. If you live in an area that gets in the 80's or 90's, you might try BPR7ES and if you are in the sunbelt (90-100+) you might try BPR8ES.

Ok, my attorney is on the phone.....he says you are going to drive to your local KRAGEN and ask for the Bosch VXC35dq-783 in the yellow box and when they don't find them and laugh at you, you will sue me.

Okay...

The "yellow" means that you are talking about Bosch Super plugs which are Bosch's copper plugs. Bosch platinum comes in grey box and the Platinum 2's and 4's both come in black boxes. In my experience (none with Z's:( ) the Bosch platinum plugs are THE best. I can see you guys are just like the snowmobile guys that live and die by NGK's, which I can respect because when it's 15 below zero and you're 30 miles from the nearest town the last thing you want is your sled to die! I also run NGK's in my 600 Ninja, but have had good luck with Nipppondeno.

Back to the point though... whats wrong with the platinums. The bosch plugs have a very small center electrode because they use 99% platinum cores which makes them leaps and bounds better than other platinum plugs...but if you are burning any oil or running very rich you can foul them very easy!

Plug numbers would be:

Bosch super"yellow box": 7501

Bosch plat."grey box": 4217

Nippondenso: 3067

Nippondenso plat.: 3238

I learned a hard lesson once, about 50 miles from nowhere. Keep German parts in German cars and keep Japanese parts in Japanese cars!
