About the OE Fine Wire Double Iridium Product Line

The Bosch OE Fine Wire Double Iridium line focuses on delivering spark plugs with fine wire electrodes made from iridium and platinum alloys. This combination provides enhanced electrode wear resistance and stable ignition performance over time. The double iridium design reduces voltage requirements and supports efficient combustion, making it suitable for high-performance engines found in Jaguar and Land Rover models.

Detailed Product Description

The Bosch 96327 spark plug features a fine wire iridium center electrode core composed of nickel-yttrium and copper, which ensures excellent conductivity and durability. The ground electrode tip is crafted from a platinum-iridium and nickel-yttrium alloy, providing a longer service life compared to conventional plugs. The ceramic insulator is projected and designed to withstand high temperatures while maintaining electrical insulation. With a 6000 ohm resistor integrated, this spark plug minimizes radio frequency interference, protecting vehicle electronics. The flat seat and standard ground electrode configuration ensure a secure fit and consistent spark gap, critical for optimal engine performance in Jaguar F-Type, Range Rover Sport, XF, and other compatible models.
