Sticker under hood says .040. Haynes manual says .048-.053. Autozone guy looked it up .035. WTF? If I don't get a response quick, going with the sticker

When in doubt, the under hood sticker has the final word. Actually, if you follow the sticker, there is no doubt! ;)

When playing the game of book-counter-sticker, the underhood sticker (that has info specific to your very vehicle) trumps the other two generic sources.
I thought that was already settled earlier? :shrug: :gr_grin:

Sticker is best specific reference as mentioned.
It also recommends the correct factory spark plug recommendation.

I change my plugs every 25k Miles, because the gaps are wider by then anyways.

Just an FYI, I was made aware to use only copper core plugs.. NGK R's is what I've used and haven't had a single hiccup... That is after I replaced all 6 coils and plugs together. I would stick with what is OE to the vehicle.
