Those of you running the Bosch Platin plugs, how often do you replace? Do you replace them per OEM

Default If you're running the Platins, you're probably at least chipped.

For modded cars I'd replace them sooner than OEM recommendations.

Personally, I do it about every 20k miles (I think OEM spec is 40k miles).

Default Slightly OT: Who has the best price for Platins? I thought VAST sold them, but now that I look...

I only see the OEM Bosch plugs on their site.

Default Nevermind, nevermind... I misread the VASTPerformance descriptions....

I read, "Combat pre-ignition with this 1-range colder plug than the OEM PFR6Q plug"

as, "Combat pre-ignition with this 1-range colder plug, the OEM PFR6Q plug"

My mistake.

Yes, I'm chipped. That makes sense. Thank you.

F5DP0R plugs are NOT OEM for the S4 so they aren't listed under the S4. Do a search for the p/n.
