Car Nerds Help Needed: Spark Plugs

[jedi]

I have a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.8L V6 GAS.
I bough these spark plugs Bosch 8116 Double Platinum Spark Plug from Amazon and at the time I do NOT recall the warning by Amazon saying "This does not fit your 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan".

But here is the strange part to this.
Going to the BOSCH website and looking up the 8116 part and the list of vehicles it fits my vehicle is on that list.
https://www.boschautoparts.com/en/ymme?partId=8116&partName=Double Platinum

Yet when I enter my vehicle info and do a search of the 8116 plug when I get to the main landing page it says "not compatible" and the option to see what vehicles are compatible with the plug leads to the link above which DOES HAVE my vehicle.

So which one is it? Am I safe to use? Otherwise I'll have to return to Amazon.

Return them. Go to a NAPA.

Take them back and buy Champion spark plugs. Champion is what came on it from the factory (according to my Chrysler rep)

Go to NAPA or Speedway Auto and buy Champion or NGK.

I've never had a problem with Champion plugs, but I remember having some boat motor problems and going to the marina shop at Fairfax down at Lake Monroe one time. The guy that came down and took a look at my motor pulled the spark plugs and saw they were Champion. He told me in a straight face, "You know the way you can tell if Champion plugs are good? Drop them in the water. If they float, then they're good to go." Took me a minute to realize what he was saying.

Only Champion or NGK in Mopars.

Only Motorcraft or NGK in Fords

Only ACDelco or NKG in GMs

Only Denso or NGK in Toyota

Only NGK in other Japanese

Only NGK in Korean

Bosch is for Euroscrap

[DoggyDaddy]

Seems like NGK is the best bet!

According to the NAPA Pro site the 8116 will fit.

The NGK number listed is is:
NGK 2314 for the Iridium IX
NGK 4998 for the Laser Platinum

The Mouse is correct.

I used to be a Bosch fan for years... Last year, had a run-ability issue on my old '08 Audi A6 where you would think the transmission was shifting very hard. A very experienced (25+year of run-ability experience) tech told me to junk the Bosch plugs. As it turned out a coil-pack was 'collapsing' under load. Replaced all the Bosch with Autolite Platinums and voila. Ran like a new car.

YMMV.

Give Autolites a serious look too.
