I use the autolite platinum AP3923 and they work fine for me. I think
there is voodoo-statistical troubleshooting at work here; translated:
"if the words 'platinum' and 'bad' show up in greater than x percent of
sentences on the all-wise DML, then its *never* good to use platinum in
my unique application. Oh yeah, and stock v6 Daks launch like the
space shuttle! Dammit!".
Been a long day. Good to see the list is cooking along as per norm
:-)
