OEM is also Denso and thats what I have used. Owners manual on my
1999 Ex says Denso or NGK and Auto Zone had the Denso. They were
already gapped to .04 just like the manual said. I don't have a
torque wrench just tightened like it said on the box. My mpg jumped
about 2-3 mpg. Wires looked good..

Hi,
I'd put in a set of NGK Platinum ones and forget about them for a long time.
