Just go to the NGK web site and if it it says OEM what came from factory thats what you need..My Si also use the double platinum premium plugs. Yeas there about 12 bucks. I found them on E-bay for9 bucks each made an offer for 7 and purchase me 8 saved 4 for later..Total cost with delivery was 62.00 not bad.. I'll search on the NGK website right now. My dealer also wanted 17.00 per plug....Denso double platinum = Ngk double platinum

Hey thanks much! 70,000 miles you think is too soon or just right or what to change them? I'm just goin down the line of maintenance items I can do to it. Timing belt is somewhere on the list along with a water pump

Okie. I am in an engines class at school now and I figure I'll buy the plugs and just do them at school. Something about a heated shop with lifts and all the tools makes the job easier.
