I've been servicing the 5.4L's for years and aways threw in motor craft plats and never had any issues from them. But I'm just curious if there is anything better.
I'm replacing my plugs this weekend.

Thanks in advance.

That's what I figured with OEM.
I've aways liked using the same stuff they rolled out of the factory with.

Motorcraft it is!

Alright I swapped in 7 motor crafts.
This took me about 40 minutes.. I'm use to removing a dog house on the vans to get to the back ones lol.
Reason I only did 7 is because I had a blow out awhile ago and it's been repaired with a new plug and sleeve so no need to mess with it.
Some of these where loose! I'm glad I got to it in time.
As you can see there is a Bosch. A Autolite. And the rest NGK's lol
Gonna swap in a new fuel filter and take it for a burn and see how it is.
