Do you trust spark plugs from Amazon to be authentic ?

Nope
Nope. I barely trust *ANYTHING* on Amazon to be authentic. It's gotten real bad with counterfeit junk and Amazon's consistent issues with inventory mixing.
Nope, Rockauto if you want online, local brick and mortar otherwise
Just use some common sense. If it's half the price of anybody else, stay away.
Amazon mixes inventory. So even if you buy the right priced one, you could still get a counterfeit plug. It's a major problem.
Problem is the higher priced parts can also be counterfeit…
RA was out of the plug I needed. Glad I bought local.
RA price $1.19 per. Established 12 location 'chain' was $3.99 per. RA seemed real low.

That just shows you the 300% markup at the local place.
They wanted $400 for inferior parts I got better parts at rockauto for 108(shipped+tax inc)
No thank you. I've heard of too many people receiving fake product, especially Motorcraft parts. Sometimes you really do get what you paid for.
I've bought at least 2 sets of bogus NGK Honda plugs off Amazon. They last 40K to 50K miles than start to fail.
Amazon has rampant counterfeit spark plugs, been mentioned on here repeatedly and on many other forums.
Anyone can sell anything on amazon, only
if seller was amazon.com then you can contact NGK, they are supposed to sell the right product on amazon

Any purchase online could be a gamble. Try supporting your local businesses. I like to shop my local NAPA auto or O’Reillys. It’s also nice they honor military/veterans with a discount

Especially since plugs are very long mileage parts …
