    I Say Just the GM Leads and Plugs. I have Tested all kinds, leads have made no difference to me. But Plugs I found NGK & GM the same, Bosch Plugs i found i get worse fuel eco per 100KM.

    I use Bosch Platinum plugs and Bosch Motorsport leads in all my commodores so far, they last for a very very long time. You can do it once and not worry about it, and if other problems arise you know it won't be the plugs and leads.

    Have Not Tried the Platinum Plugs, Might Give them a go next time round. Im just talking standard plugs. Standards Last 40k anyway.

    Going by the fact you said leads are you talking about a V6? Don't waste your time with anything but factory.

    I've put Max300 leads and Platinum Plus 4 plugs into my VY Cross8 and I recon it has made a big difference.
    Much smoother, obviously more power and better fuel economy.
