There is nothing wrong with a different brand, if they truly are an equivelant plug. Trouble is, there are way too many people out there sellling you anything that will fit the hole.

I was running NGK plugs in my 99 225, my outboard mech told me to remove and install champion plugs, the NGK plugs he stated "would possibly ruin my pistons" I assuming the previous owner got them from an autoparts store and were the champion equivalant, and NGK is cheaper. So I would run with what the Manufacture says, and all OMC I believe was champion!
