Detailed Product Description

The Bosch EVO 96347 spark plug features a combination of iridium and platinum materials on the electrodes, providing a balance of wear resistance and conductivity. The center electrode tip is made of iridium, known for its high melting point and longevity, while the ground electrode tip incorporates platinum and nickel-chromium-iron alloys to maintain consistent spark gaps over time. The copper core in both electrodes enhances thermal conductivity, helping to dissipate heat effectively and reduce fouling.

This spark plug is designed with a flat seat and a projected ceramic insulator, which improves ignition efficiency and reduces misfires. The resistor built into the plug (1000 ohms) helps minimize electromagnetic interference with vehicle electronics. With a heat range of 6, it is suitable for a wide range of driving conditions, balancing heat dissipation and combustion stability.
