I'm in need of new wires and thought I'd replace the plugs at the same time.
I have 160000km/100000miles on the Eddie and was wondering if anyone
recommended something different than OEM for the parts.

Thanks in advance.

So you got 100k miles out of the oem parts and you want to use something
else?

Why? Stick with the OEMs. They are the best.

Use OEM full platinum plugs all the way around (the factory build used
plugs that had either the center or side electrodes platinum on
different sides of the engine, but the factory service manual says to
use all platinum plugs for replacements. I used the factory plug
wires, they have original heat shields around certain plug wires.
