No it doesn't....

A good Bosch/NGK spark plug should cost only 5-7 dollars trade, so it about 28 dollars... The extra must be for labour and profits.........

Unless of course, they are using the high end 4 electrode ones...

Also I think the Euro use rating 6 heat rating plugs...

I think it is more than that. I dont have the service manual with me but I think the OEM plugs in the euro are changed over after 100k.

Hmm not sure about it though but I'm pretty sure the dealer will change it at 100 k service though. The OEM honda is laser iridium.
