Re: Spark Plugs&Tranny Fluid?

If you want to use NGK plugs the number is

NGK: PZFR6F-11

If you want to use Denso the number is

DENSO: PKJ20CR-M11

This is what the book calls for, anything else may cause misfires.

Gap is 0.039 to 0.043 however you really shouldnt gap irridiums hence why buying them from the dealer is a very good idea.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

The NGK and Denso plugs are pregapped at 1.1mm (that's the 11 in the part numbers) and shouldn't need adjusted at all.
You can get them through almost any parts store, but you may have to special order them.

Unfortunately I couldnt find them at ANY local store to save my life.. I just spent the extra money and got em from the dealer. They only need to be changed every 110k so I figured why not.

Previously I put ngk v-powers and the car ran good for awhile after that it just didnt idle correctly.
