And your engine is...? I ask for a reason.
The proper plugs are:
F22A1: ZFR5F-11
H22A1: PZFR6F-11
2.3L engine: ZFR6F-11
The only one that *requires* a platinum plug is the H22A1.
The "P" means "platinum". No "P" means NO platinum.
You may use NGK platinums without any worry of any kind. They are excellent
plugs. The disaster stories that abound on the Internet usually have to do
with those Bosch platinums at have the skinny wire embedded in the ceramic
insulator.
If you decide to use non-platinums, and you do not have the F22A1, you just
have to replace them a little more often.
