I run NGK's in all my vehicles and I've never had the seafoam foul them, yet.

I use ONLY AC Delco 41-985 Iridium plugs in mine. Never any problems. But to simplify my retort.,.....Bosch never finds it's way onto my trucks or cars.

Don't even get me started on "the all knowing parts guys". Last time I asked for a set of TR6's for my truck the guy at the counter had to get the manager. The manager then went to a book and asked "what's this for a mitsubishi or something". when I told him it was for my truck. He shut the book and walked away and left me standing there. All while condescending me about putting NGK's in a Chevy. What a douchebag! Luckily I had an empty box w/ the part number in the truck so I could get the right plugs.

Sorry. Had to vent. This message board is great automotive therapy.
