Can you use Bosch Platinum+4 plugs on S80 non-turbo? S80 2000

I've installed Bosch Platinum+4 plugs on almost every cay I've ever owned and found smoother running, more responsive engine, and better gas mileage. I've heard some cars are not a fit for it. Is this OK for my '00 S80, 2.9L non-turbo?

    Those 4 pointed plugs are NOT recomended for 5 cylinder engines. Seems the plugs can loose one of their tips and get caught by a closing valve...

      If I said my S80 has the 2.9L I6, not the 5 cyl engine, would that make a difference on your reply?

        I know the S80s have an extra cylinder, and I would still say no. Any plug that can lose an electrode is NOT going into one of my engines.
