Use the Ford coils, don't replace them unless they are bad.

Is only use the Ford ones. Do they need to be replaced?

No, I'm just curious. Then I just need to change the ruthenium plug, right?

There are good Platinum, Iridium and Ruthenium plugs available, saying one is better than the other is easy to do, but hard to prove. Either could serve you well. Spark plugs are a consumable part, making sure they aren't worn (increasing gap, electrodes no longer sharp) is the important thing.

Remember what you are getting with these high-end plugs are plugs that were designed to be run longer, better wear resistance. Most enthusiast find themselves changing plugs because they feel the need as opposed to there actually being a problem.

I run NGK Ruthenium plugs, they have served me well in all the turbo engines I've owned. I've never pushed a set to see how many miles they would actually go. Mine never see more than 20,000 miles, I'm sure they'd go much longer.

Thank you for your good reply. If you look at the forum, I use the recommended plug ruthenium column number 6,95605. If I look at the manual, shouldn't I use column 7.90495?

Which catalog are you looking at? Is yours a Hybrid or just a gasoline engine?

90495 - LTR6BHS is what NGK lists for your vehicle. If you are tuning, you may wish to look at one heat range colder.

Thank you. I'm asking because the car is high power

I'm not sure. I was wondering why you use it like that
If your engine is stock, run the standard plugs. If your engine is tuned we usually run one step cooler plug.
