Shame on me! I just bought 6 Autolite XP-103's, a specified plug at NAPA, for my '06 xls 4L. They worked really well in my last xls which was an '03 4L. Lo and behold, when I checked the Haynes manual it says that the plugs on the right and left side are different........you gotta be kidding! So I called NAPA and asked them about it (they're usually pretty good with this stuff) and they knew nothing about it. They even cross-referenced the Motorcraft #'s and came up with nothing. So I called my local Ford dealer and spoke to the parts guy, and even he knew nothing about it. I gave him the two Motorcraft #'s and he came up with nothing either. So unless I find out something drastically different, I'm assuming I'm good-to-go with these plugs.
On an interesting side note, I had a '96 xlt 4.0L years ago, and when I changed the factory plugs they weren't all the same part #.....go figure. So, like I said, shame on me for not checking BEFORE I bought the plugs.
