NGK lists the PZFR5F-11 as OE for the J35A1, the V6 in the 2nd Gen Ody.
Notice that the platinum tip is beefy.
I ran Bosch platinums in my SE-R for 8,000 miles. The electrode was burned down into the ceramic insulator. That was 8K miles of Grandmother-like driving.
I have 40,000 mile on my NGK platinums and they look brand new ... uh, but dirty.
The NGK's held up to everthing from bumper to bumper traffic to drag racing on the weekend.
Expect 100K miles or so out of the original equipment plugs. Depending on how long you own your Ody, you may never have to replace them. If you do have to replace them, I personally would go with the same plug. They may seem expensive compared to the cheaper copper plugs we used in domestic cars in the 70's, but they are worth every penny.
I believe Honda list price is about $15 each. I think I can get them for ~$8.
