When I worked for Honda all their NGK plugs were in red boxes.....Yes the B8EG is a good plug if it is the heat range you are looking for...It is a gold palladium plug.....

Post by: JesseA420 on January 20, 2015, 09:32:13 AM: weird, i have encountered some plugs with indications that are clearly genuine markings along with what seems like "fake" plug markings, like correct box, correct glazing on porcelain corregations, correct markings and finish on main body, but terminal nut is loose, or the washer at the bottom would come off.

Post by: Pumashine on January 21, 2015, 01:30:19 AM: The last 10 pack I bought is the light yellow box. I went through all the plug boxes and only found 2 that did not have the 3rd ID sig on the side. They are all stamped on the hex. Big question??? If they are not NGK do they still work?

IMO it would be risky buying them from eBay. Its plenty easy for and eBay seller to buy a truck load of plugs from China and sell them off for cheap.

I buy them from advance auto. There by farthe cheapest I've found. $2.19
