NGK Coil pack

has anyone got a NGK coil pack lately from Rock auto or anywhere else? Is the NGK logo bright white like in the pictures, or is it more of a grey color?

I ordered one and received the package today. and to my surprise there were three coil packs stuffed into one box. My first guess is someone returned used/bad coil packs and I am the unfortunate recipient of them. But they are very clean, so I wonder..

These will very likely cause check engine failures. Do some research on the forum, it’s likely these were returned for that reason.

The only coil option now is OEM.

ahh bummer. I had read a thread from 2020 where the NGK were said to be good (you had posted in actually). But didn't see the later threads about production changing and them not working well anymore.

thanks for the heads up!

the pictures actually make them look worse than they are. there is no dirt or grime on them. the ones i swapped around in my car to test were also pretty clean, though. anyway, based on all the bad reviews of these recently, they'll get sent back and replaced with OE. thanks for the feedback guys.
