              I wouldn’t think it would be playing ‘catch up’ but sometimes the mechanical trip meters can mess up the odometer.

                  I would go with the Motorcraft called for by the manufacturer, you don’t need to get fancy here just use what’s called for.

                    As suggested above, I would just stick with the Motorcraft plugs that are suggested by the manufacturer.

                      I’ve never been a fan of the “fancy” plugs with multiple electrodes blah blah blah, just stick with the original motorcraft.
