Mine came with NGK's, Lithia tried to put Delcos in mine but I insisted NGK's. I got the ones I wanted.

pretty much the coil pack got hot enough to melt and a loss of contact between the plugs and coil which created an arc and could have started a nice fire... sweet right?

Same problem with mine happened at about 13K miles, I got it replaced under warranty along with a couple other things.

Mine happened about right at 13K and I got it fixed right away. I'm not sure about the filters...
