Default Right or wrong plugs for non-turbo?

Are these the right sparkplugs? I just bought a tune up kit from aiaautoparts, 850 non-turbo kit included plugs that have three prongs for each gap. after reading forums I only wanted orig. they sent part #8642660 which are from volvo the blister pack reads (5-cyl exl. turbo,b5204fs) I called aia no answer. My first tune up, anyone know of a tutorial that can walk me thru? Discouraged already and have not even started! Thanks.

The 3 prog plugs are correct for a non-turbo engine. Turbos require copper plugs with a single electrode.

Before installing the new plugs, coat the threads with a small amount of anti-sieze product. Makes removal much easier after 30-50K miles.
