Auto Parts: spark plugs, ford taraus, waste yer money

Question
I have a  06 ford taraus and need spark plugs to improve gas milage and power. I've heard rumors that bosch double platinum plugs run too hot in a smaller engine (3.0 V6) and would eventualy damage the pistons or rings? Is this true or just a myth??
Thanks  Jeff

Answer
Hi Jeffrey,

Just a myth.

But don't waste yer money on the double-platinum. The original, Bosch Platinum single electrode plugs work better and more efficient than any of the designs that followed it. The Plus2, Plus4, Dp and all the rest are just more expensive.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
