Detailed Product Description and Attributes

The Bosch OE Fine Wire Platinum spark plug (part number 6714) features a platinum center electrode tip that enhances wear resistance and maintains a stable spark over time. The ground electrode tip is made from nickel-yttrium and shaped in a tapered design to optimize spark exposure and combustion efficiency. The spark plug includes a ceramic projected insulator that provides excellent electrical insulation and heat dissipation. With a flat seat type and a thread diameter of 14 mm, it fits securely in the combustion chamber. The 1.1 mm pre-gap size is factory set to ensure proper ignition performance. Additionally, the resistor with 6000 ohms resistance helps minimize radio frequency interference, supporting vehicle electronics.
