The NGK BPR6EKN you got are the OEM parts, the ones that the car comes with when new. They are recommended by Mits. The BPR7ES your friend recommended has a colder heat range (7 vs 6). Both will work, but I suggest going with the OEM BPR6EKN. If the tip of the plugs are too hot, then you'll end up with engine knocking. If they're too cold, your engine will be less powerful. Just make sure that the plugs are properly gapped.

Well what is the difference in the plugs?

I found that, and other sites. Apperantly they are more for performance, but need to be changed every few months, one site even recommended 3,000 miles! I would go with the ones you bought, which NGK says is correct for your vehicle. I looked it up on the NGK site, and that is what they recommend for your vehicle. But that is true, that parts stores do not always give you the right parts, so you do have to be careful. Your owners manual might give you the spark plug number as well.

The difference will be the heat range of the plug. Both will work fine on your car, but just a little hint: don't always believe the auto parts stores, especially with Mitsubishis. I have yet to get the right part from Murrays without looking it up myself.

either set will work. If you wil be changing them yourself then here is something to help out............
The spar plugs are sunk into the engine. you will need a LONG extension to remove them and a Quality spark plug socket to hold the plug on the way out of the tube. Also.....you may have to use "quicksteel" to secure the socket to the extension because it will sometimes slip loose. The socket will be on the extension forever but you will always have ti ready for the next plug change, I have several set up this way.

Go with what the store says.
