Altima 2000 spark plugs. Is Bosch platinum 4 a good alternative?

Nissans do not like Bosch plugs. Stick with the plugs specified in your owners manual. That same book will also tell you the replacement interval.

I agree with Meyer. I've heard nothing but bad about the Bosch plugs in Nissans. I've used NGKs during maintenance in all my vehicles without any problems.

I tried bosch in my 95 pickup. Ran like crap.

For some reason? Nissans only like ngk plugs.

there are no good alternatives.

Use the NGK plugs.

Bosch are cheap pieces of sh*t

I have solved more runability problems on Nissan's buy just removing Bosch plugs and installing NGK's

Ditto, those bosch platimums are total crap. Wonder why =no= OEM on the planet uses them? Because they don't work! Bosch makes some good spark plugs for specific applications but nissans are one of them and the platinum's they sell at parts stores don't work on ANY car!

I heard they don't work on e30 BMW's, but I put them in my '95 Hardbody and they worked fine.

I've had the same set in my 97 PU for about 5 years and have had no trouble, but I don't put many miles on it. Maybe 5k a year.

I've had about 50-75 cars towed in over the years that wouldn't start and all that was wrong was these plugs. I've fixed HUNDREDS of drivability problems replacing these plugs. Actually I should push these as I make LOTS of money replacing them! People always say "it can't be the plugs, I just replaced them..."

If the fuel metering system isn't PERFECT, they foul. Some people just don't seem to notice the drivability problems these cause? Someone always will swear their car runs perfect with these plugs, all I've ever seen is problems. You base this on one sample, I see hundreds that don't work. Go ahead and use them, I really can't understand why car owners won't just use the plugs the people who designed the car say to use. Two professional mechanics say they see all sorts of problems and someone is going to argue these work good?

Again if these plugs are so great, why doesn't someone somewhere put these "platium" bosch plugs in their car from the factory? It's because they are CRAP spark plugs.

I've had Volkswagen and Audi cars and never had problems with Bosch, but currently using 3-prone NGK and my Audi runs fine too.

Thanks, Steve.

I definitely won't use them again.
