    The turbo engine wants copper core plugs, only.

    I have used all kinds and am back to Volvo brand because they last longer, much longer than the others. Just make sure you anti-sieze on the threads.

    OE at Tasca. Don't waste your time or money. These are good plugs and they last a long time.

      every single time over the past 30 yrs that I have bowed to temptation and used Bosch or NGK, I have ended up throwing them away in short time because the motors just don't run like they should. Cannot explain it because we all know that one of the major manufs makes the the OEM plugs with 'Volvo' printed on the porcelin. STICK WITH OEM in the expensive blue box

    Volvo could put any plugs on the market in their cars - and they could charge whatever they want to for those plugs.

    Find the best price for OE and use them.
