Genuine Volvo plugs are probably the best. I used to use Bosch Platinum 4-ground electrodes and never had a trouble.

Platinum/Iridium tipped plugs are generally factory-set for the gap and re-gaping is usually not recommended due to a possible damage to the electrode(s).

You can't get the OEM plug for it. That was a Champion plug that's been discontinued.

I'm running AC Delco platinum PN 41-800 without any problems on a 95 2.3L turbo

Assume people are referring to these as OEM

Am sure other plugs will work but folks tend to get religious about these things; main thing is gap should be .028".
