PFR6B-11 actually ARE Platinum plugs as evident from the initial "P" in the code. None platinum copper plugs start with a "B" as in "BKR6BE".

I was in an auto parts store the other day and they were selling platinum NGK plugs (G-Power I think). The look-up guide said that these plugs were OK for the car. My question is, is there a difference between the OEM plugs that retail at $19.00 vs. the NGK G-Power platinum plugs selling for $4.00?
Thanks.

Yes. The first ARE platinum, the second ARE NOT. Check the look-up guide, it must show something like BKR6B-9 or close to that. If they actually ARE platinum BUY 100-200 dozen at CAD$4 each and make a 100% profit by selling them at 50% of retail.
In any case, make sure you check the gap before installing any of those. Platinums shoulb be at 1.1mm, non-platinums at 0.9mm.
