Details on Bosch OE Fine Wire Double Iridium Technology

The OE Fine Wire Double Iridium line from Bosch features advanced electrode materials and design to provide consistent spark performance and extended service life. The center electrode combines iridium with a nickel-yttrium and copper core, while the ground electrode tip integrates platinum-iridium with nickel-yttrium and copper. This combination enhances wear resistance and maintains stable spark gaps over time. The fine wire design reduces voltage requirements, contributing to efficient combustion and smoother engine operation in compatible vehicles such as the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Camaro, and Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Restores proper ignition in engines experiencing misfires or rough idling
• Improves fuel efficiency by ensuring consistent spark delivery
• Reduces ignition system electrical interference with built-in resistor
• Supports stable engine performance in 4-cycle engines across multiple makes and models
• Addresses wear-related spark plug degradation in vehicles like the Buick Regal and Mazda CX-7

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure the spark plug gap is set to the specified 0.7 mm pre-gap before installation
• Use a 16 mm socket wrench for proper tightening torque
• Verify compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model, including Buick ATS, Lincoln Navigator, or Jaguar XF
• Apply anti-seize compound sparingly on threads if recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
• Follow manufacturer torque specifications to avoid damage to the tapered seat
