DENSO SPARK PLUGS for 2008 XC90 3.2L engine

Hey Guys,

I have a 2008 XC90 3.2L AWD with 75,000kms

Cars run fine and fuel consumption per kms is OK.

What kms this engine need to replace the spark plugs as maintenance?

I am going to order the Oil, Air & Fuel filter for my next maitenance and I dont know if I need to order the spark plugs too.

What factory type of plugs do this engine use? Regular, Platinum or Iridium?

I was doing a search for DENSO and found all these plugs work for my engine, but I am not sure which one to order. I am not trying to buy the cheapest ones, but something that will give the same or better perfomance as the volvo ones

Go with the original plugs that Volvo put in it. Ya dont have to get that serious about it.I always use original parts and never have issues.My Volvos run great and last many years and miles.I look at like Volvo engineers are a lot smarter than me.

Like stated, I would go with Volvo OE. I see too many cars come into my shop with misfire and driveability issues prematurely due to using aftermarket spark plugs. 

 

Spark plugs are due at 75K miles, not sure what that translates to in km's. At 75k, air filter, cabin filter, oil change (obviously), and brake flush are also performed. Fuel filter is due at 120k.
