Spark Plugs

Post by jnjcorn4113 »

Need non OEM plugs, what is the best direction for 2008 S80 T6? My local dealer does not stock them and they are a week out to get them. Every OEM plug I find online is 5-7 days delivery

Need something for this weekend, what are the best alternative plugs?

Thank you!

Maybe get some single gap plugs that fit and are gaped properly today and replace with Bosch plugs in a week?

Why can't you wait the week? Does the car have a problem? In 33 years of driving Volvo cars, I have yet to have a Volvo spark plug cause a misfire. Or even feel any difference when changed. June
