Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Bosch spark plug features a fine wire double iridium design, combining an iridium center electrode tip with a platinum-iridium ground electrode tip. The center electrode core is composed of nickel-yttrium and copper, providing excellent conductivity and wear resistance. The single ground electrode with a standard tip design ensures consistent spark delivery. The spark plug includes a 6000 ohm resistor to minimize radio frequency interference, supporting vehicle electronics.

The tapered seat and 14mm thread diameter with a 25mm reach ensure proper fitment and sealing in compatible engines. The pre-gap size of 0.8 mm is factory set to optimize ignition performance. The ceramic insulator is non-projected, enhancing durability under high temperatures. This spark plug is designed for 4-cycle engines and has a manufacturer heat range of 7, balancing heat dissipation and fouling resistance.

OE Fine Wire Double Iridium Product Line

The Bosch OE Fine Wire Double Iridium line focuses on delivering precise ignition performance through the use of fine wire iridium electrodes combined with platinum-iridium ground electrodes.
