Hey Mad Mike thanks for the heads up next time I do routine maintenance on my vehicle I'm going to get spark plugs from 3 auto parts store. And like you said get a magnifying glass times 20 to check them out thoroughly. 👍👍✌️🇺🇲

Had a brand new Bosch plug be the culprit of ignition misfires on one of my cars that had only 50k miles. About 2 weeks after routine maintenance and changing the plugs, the problem/codes surfaced. Using rational thinking "it cant be the plugs they're brand new and quality Bosch platinums), a new set of wires failed to fix it. Then a new coil pack failed to fix it. Finally, at wits end, I figured the only thing left is the brand new plugs. Changed them out with some NGKs and problem was solved. Haven't bought Bosch for almost 20 years now and probably never will again.
