Under normal use it does not matter if you use ES or EV it works out the same in the end. If you are in the states or elswhere with tighter emmission controls than the UK you may find that there is a different heat grade of plug depending on the configuration of the particular emission control of that engine, eg, twin lambda sensors bla bla bla. Dont allways trust bently and haynes manuals as being gospel, even the 2003 NGK catalogue has a couple of differences of opinion with SAAB as to what plug fits what car. Best place to look is your owners handbook or ring yer dealer............. T.
