About the Champion Copper Plus Product Line

The Copper Plus line from Champion focuses on spark plugs that utilize a copper core to enhance conductivity and heat dissipation. This design helps maintain stable engine performance and reduces fouling. The Copper Plus 308 spark plug combines these benefits with nickel electrodes to provide a balance of durability and efficient ignition suitable for various passenger vehicles.

Technical Details and Compatibility

The Champion Copper Plus 308 spark plug features a nickel ground electrode core and center electrode tip, which contribute to reliable spark generation and resistance to wear. The pre-gap is factory set at 0.044 inches (1.12 mm), ensuring optimal spark gap for combustion efficiency. With a heat range of 12, this plug is designed to operate within a controlled temperature range to prevent overheating or fouling. The flat seat and 14 mm thread diameter with 0.75 inch reach make it compatible with specific engine designs.
