Need advice for Oil and Spark Plugs

[nogz]

Hello Tsikoters,

I will be changing my oil soon... my car is casa maintained but as I've read on one of the threads here about Honda Cars Manila I decided not to bring my car to that place again due to the bad reviews and I also spoke to my former agent there, he mentioned all the veteran and good crew in that place already left and all was left are the noobs and doesn't really care if your car get fixed or not. To make things short I usually say okay to the service adviser on what ever he recommends which I think is the best so I'm not sure which brand of oil or spark plugs is the best for my car. I want to go to somewhere else to get my car done.

Anyways about my question, I was planning to get Bosch Platinum + 4 for my spark plugs... is that okay for me to use? My car is a Honda Civic VTi (SiR Body). Also can anyone tell me which oil is okay to use. Someone told me about Wurth Oil.. Thanks in advance for all your opinions!

And also, any advise for the oil filter? what brand is the best?

regular spark plugs are good enough.

any full synthetic is better.

a good branded oil filter is ok.

look into your owner's manual to see what is recommended for your car.

unless you have a heavily modified engine, you have to put special stuff for your car.

Casa always use bosch for sparkplugs I just want to try the bosch platinum + 4 since some of my friends already tried using it and said it was good, however they have toyota cars. Maybe some of you guys might be using this for their car... I want to know if this is okay for civic EK. If not then I'll just get the bosch platinum and not the one with +4. Thanks a lot!!!

try ngk platinum, its better than bosch +4 according to my experience, and its a lot cheaper. i've tried bosch +4 and ngk platinum, ngk exceeded the bosch +4, how did i know? cause i compared the burn residues of my ngk platinum and bosch +4, and according to the sparkplug story thread, there were less carbon composite on the ngk plug, on my experience, i guess ngk is burning fuel better than bosch +4. however, this is based on my observations. my car is an altis 04.

Actually the only brand I know is bosch since I don't normally shop for parts as I've mentioned above.. I let the casa do their thing on that part, I only pay for their service so really I'm clueless about these details...

I was looking at some reviews about NGK and it's quite impressive! They also mentioned about DENSO as an okay plugs... now I'm confused... I also saw a review saying Bosch is better than NGK... I guess this will all depend on the users taste...

So which is good for a civic? Bosch platinum? NGK Platinum? or Denso? Will it be a waste of money for me if I would get the Bosch Platinum + 4? HELP! :help!:
