Bosch 96355 Spark Plug

Overview

Bosch 96355 is an OE Fine Wire Double Iridium spark plug built for precise ignition performance and extended service life. It uses an ultra-fine wire center electrode and a laser-welded tapered ground electrode to promote strong ignitability in everyday driving conditions.

Compatible With Nissan Rogue, Nissan Altima, and Nissan Versa applications listed below, this Bosch spark plug is a fitment-based replacement for select 4-cycle engines. The 96355 part number is also useful when cross-checking service records or ordering the correct ignition component for maintenance.

Key Features

• Fine wire iridium center electrode for consistent spark delivery.
• Laser-welded tapered ground electrode for efficient ignition performance.
• Iridium-alloy firing pin and iridium-platinum ground tip for long wear life.
• Resistor design with 6000 resistance rating.
• Flat seat, projected insulator, and 12 mm thread diameter.

Detailed Description

Bosch OE Fine Wire Double Iridium spark plug 96355 is engineered with a copper-core center electrode, iridium tip material, nickel ground core, and ceramic insulator. The J-gap ground configuration and 1 mm pre-gap support stable spark formation, while the 14 mm hex size and 26.5 reach match the specified application requirements. As part of Bosch’s OE Fine Wire Double Iridium line, this plug focuses on ignition precision and durability rather than generic replacement construction. The 96355 spark plug is a direct service part for select Nissan Rogue, Nissan Altima, and Nissan Versa models covered by the fitment data.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by worn spark plug electrodes.
• Misfire concerns from weak or inconsistent spark output.
• Rough idle related to degraded ignition performance.
• Reduced fuel efficiency from inefficient combustion.
• Service intervals where the original plug has reached wear limits.

Installation Notes

Verify the thread diameter, reach, seat type, and heat range against the vehicle specification before installation. Use the fitment table to confirm the exact year and model match for Nissan Rogue, Nissan Altima, or Nissan Versa applications. Follow the manufacturer’s torque and gap specifications for the engine being serviced.

Quality Assurance

Bosch OE Fine Wire Double Iridium plugs are built around iridium-based electrode construction for durability and stable ignition performance. The design combines fine-wire ignition response with wear-resistant materials for long-term service use.
