Manual calls for Bosch W6D, I'm currently using NGK BP6ES.  What is the CW as far as which make/model of plugs to use?

I run the NGKs you mention. I have the Bosch plugs in the parts drawer. Both are good choices and, IMO, perform "all same, all same."  [size=9]-The Sand Pebbles[/size]

With non resistor versions of the Bosch plugs becoming hard to find NGK's are considered the best choice. An NGK BP6ES is the correct equivalent to the Bosch W6D
