I've used the regular Bosch platinums in the past with few complaints, maybe it's more limited to the multi-electrode plugs that have the most issues.

They were Autolite Platinums. I have had bad luck w/ Bosch in the past...so I haven't actually tried any of their plugs in awhile. The light actually went off today.

I also changed my air filter while I was at it. Don't know if that could have caused anyting. It wasn't in new condition, but it didn't look bad either. The only thing i noticed there, was that the rubber gasket around the air filter had been compressed a good bit. So the case that it sits in was not seated tightly and I did notice that if I pressed on the air filter housing my engine seemed to run smoother. It was running smooth before but there was a very minor noise it was making..it was hard to describe, kinda like a sucking sound, that was fixed when i changed the air filter out. Guess it had a leak or something.
