Bosch Platinum +4

Greetings,

I checked the archives and came up without an answer. I searched "Bosch Platinum +4" several times and came up with an error messege, then just tried "Bosch Spark Plugs" and could not find an answer to my question.

Anyway...'98 Boxster 5 Speed needed new plugs. I told the indie shop to PLEASE make sure they used a plug in the proper heat range. They used the Bosch Platinum +4 with a Bosch part number 4417.

The plugs are now in there, and they told me those were the plugs recommended by Bosch (of course they are!!) so I guess I now need to know if those are in the proper heat range. Not too worried about claims of more HP etc, I just want to know if they are OK for the engine.

Thanks.

Thanks ToolPants,

It looks like the jury is still out, but many have used then with good results.

The plus 4 plugs seem to be a blanket cover type of spark plug. Bosch list them for two or three other heat range applications. I personally wouldn't use them and have a friend who installed them on his '01 boxster with no problems.... or I should say with no problems as of yet.
