You will probably have the best performance and economy with the plugs that are in it. Unless, you are putting exact o.E. Replacements in it. The plugs are good to 150k miles, anything other than what is called for and you are asking for problems. I have not seen a carbon fiber engine cover. Remove the oil cap, lift and gently pull forward. It should come off.
