Bosch plugs are numbered with 4 digits now, so it's hard to know for sure. The Bosch web site lists a 7401 as the OE plug for your car. I'll see if I can find a Bosch plug book and cross reference it for you.

Well, I lost the little piece of paper that I had all the info written down on, but basically what you have is appropriate for your car, but at a slightly higher heat range. It's a hotter plug than the OE, but not my much.

after i bought my 850 wagon i did a big tune-up and i took out my old volvo OEM plugs with roughly 70k miles on them. they were worn normally, but pretty well worn out. i replaced them with bosch platinums +2's for a month or so. (the nice man at the franchise auto parts store had a sale that week) i didn't really notice a difference in performance. so, i took the bosch platinums out and put in the Volvo OEM triode plugs and was much happier. the engine seemed more resonsive and smooth thru the 2k~4.5k RPM range and my mileage improved about 1MPG. been running with the Volvo OEM plugs for more than 10k miles and they are smoothy-smooth.
i recommend the OEM plugs, they dont need gapping (factory set) and its what those silly engineers and scientists wanted us to use in the first place. i think they cost $10 less than the bosch on sale too, even after i paid shipping from FCPGroton.com! oh, and i'll sell ya the the bosch +2's for cheap! only about 100~150 miles on them. still shiny, like new! still have the box! :thumbsup: <_< |
