Hello All,

Great site I use this one and www.hondasuv.com for my CRV.

I have a 2001 Accord LX (vTEC) with 106k miles. I need to replace the plugs and don't want to pay $10/each at the dealer. What is the best plug at a reasonable cost.

Is NGK or Denso OEM for this car? Are these the right platinum plugs: NGK ZFR5F-11?

I'm not looking for high performance, I'm looking for most dependable.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

Stick with NGK Plugs... I've heard that denso is a good plug as well but I don't have any personall experience with them. Stay away from Bosh, it'll eventually toast your coil. I run just plain old NGK V-Power plugs and the burn even and the car runs great... That part # you posted looks correct but I'm not 100% sure... I'd probably just go to your local parts store and get some v-power plugs and a gap gauge

 

Densos are good plugs too. They came stock in some hondas.

 

Unless you have seriously modified your car, Honda OEM plugs are the way to go.

 

hello Drbones.........wlcome to HAF..........

you almost got the # of the plugs correct ,, but your car takes platinum plugs thus NGK PZFR5F-11 and as adviced by other members stick with NGK

 

ngk only

 

Thanks for all your help! I just bought 4 on ebay for $33.00, best price I could find anywhere. Now, what's the gap suppose to be????

Thanks All!

Oh, and I only run NGK in my Suzuki Motorcycle, makes it purrr!!

 

0.039- 0.043. gap them to the smallest setting. ,, cause as plug wears gap gets wider

 

So, you're saying that if I have the Bosch Platinum+4 I made a wrong decision (long before I found these forums)? Are they worth replacing (do they really cause problems), or should I just keep them?
