Hey guys, I've recently purchase some spark plugs from Rock Auto. Everything looks fine from the centring of the letter to the cutting of the ground electrodes. However, there is still a problem. Where there is usually a stamp that says japan, there is only NGK and the Model number (DILZKR7B11GS). Is this maybe something that's normal for this model? Or is this a possible fake? Also I don't know if this is a caused for concern. But out of the 4 plugs in a box, 3 had a lot number v3z9 and one was v3z0.
Edit- I just contact NGK, and they say that because this was manufactured in USA there will be no JAPAN stamped on it. I will leave this up just in-case anyone happens to wonder. The only thing now is the lot number issue.
I'm not worried about Rockauto per say. What I'm worried about is people who buy real products and return fake products. I heard that that is a possibility. Unless rock auto checks it to make sure.

I didn't get refunded one time until after the part was in their possession so I believe they check it beforehand.

Thanks, that's very reassuring to hear. I was just afraid it would be like amazon where they'd not even bother to check. Anyways, after contacting ngk, I was assured it was legit. I'm assuming they know due to the lot number. Scammers won't be able to copy that.
