I see no need to use other than what the JK comes with.
RE14PLP5 Champion Double-Platinum

They have been working just fine for me.

My experience is I prefer NGK plugs. I feel better running NGKs, and I have faith in them. When I get some reasonable miles on my engine, I will swap the Champions over to them.

Just personal preference. I have tried E3s in my wife's car. Only to develop a misfire due to them 300 miles from home. They did nothing for performance. Complete waste of money and time.

I have seen engines where those are the only brand that will work well.
I don't know what it is about them.

As Goody mentioned, I would stay away from the e3 plugs. I ran them for a while in the JK and did get a few misfire codes. Replaced them with the specified Champions and everything is running fine again. I did not notice any of the changes that the e3 plugs claim.

I used the E3's. Made mine start throwin codes. I honestly could tell a difference in power before all that though. I run the stock Champions now.

Does anyone know what the stock champion part number is? I found - RE14PLP5 is that correct?

Thanks again for the replies.
