I only run the Volvo genuine plugs in my 850 - out of all the plugs I have tried, these have been the most reliable plugs so far.

Almost all other plugs I have used have caused my car to miss when idling.

one plug l would only recommend if you can not afford the OEM is NGK spark plug. they are almost as good as the OEM. l had them on my 850 and never had a problem. no misfires till l switched to OEM and felt no difference. am running OEM now. Run OEM if you can afford to, but alternatively you can go for NGK.

NGK or Champion coppers are good as are Volvo plugs. My '95 originally came with Champion.
I'm running AC Delco platinum and not having any problems a year later. I prefer the platinum so I don't have to be in there changing them that often.
Went with Bosch wires and no problems.
I'm running an MSD coil.

I only run Volvo plugs. Have pulled out a lot of NGK plugs that were doing well.
