Champion Copper Plus 97 Spark Plug

Champion Copper Plus 97 is a replacement spark plug built for steady ignition performance in a wide range of Toyota, Lexus, Scion, Nissan, Volkswagen, and Porsche applications. Its copper core electrode supports strong conductivity and heat control, while nickel-based electrode materials help deliver consistent wear characteristics for everyday driving.

Key Features

  • Copper core electrode for improved conductivity and heat management
  • Nickel center electrode tip and nickel ground electrode core material
  • Pre-gapped at 0.035 in. / 0.90 mm
  • Resistor-type spark plug with a flat seat design
  • 14 mm thread diameter, 0.75 in. reach, and 5/8 in. hex size
  • Champion Copper Plus classification for OE-style secondary ignition service
  • Part number 97 for easy identification during replacement

Product Details

This Champion spark plug uses a copper core design to promote reliable spark transfer and thermal control, which is important for stable combustion and consistent engine operation. The RC9MCC plug type, nickel electrode construction, and resistor design make it a practical choice for routine ignition service on vehicles such as the Lexus GS430, Toyota Tundra, and Scion tC. Champion Copper Plus 97 is also cross-referenced with Champion RC9MCC for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Address

  • Hard starting caused by worn or fouled spark plugs
  • Rough idle from weak or inconsistent spark output
  • Misfire conditions related to degraded secondary ignition components
  • Reduced throttle response from poor combustion efficiency
  • Maintenance replacement for plugs that no longer hold proper gap

Installation Notes and Fitment Tips

Verify the required gap for your application before installation, since listed fitment notes vary by vehicle. Compatible With 2010-2012 Lexus HS250h, 2011 Porsche 911, 2002-2010 Lexus SC430, 2005-2010 Scion tC, 2003-2009 Lexus GX470, 2005-2009 Toyota Tundra, 2006-2008 Lexus RX400h, 2001-2007 Lexus GS430, 1998-2007 Lexus LX470, 2004-2006 Lexus ES330, 2001-2006 Lexus LS430, 2004-2006 Lexus RX330, 2001-2004 Toyota Sequoia, 2000-2004 Toyota Tundra, 1999-2003 Lexus RX300, 1998-2000 Lexus GS400, 1990-2000 Lexus LS400, 1992-2000 Lexus SC400, 1990-1994 Nissan D21, 1990-1994 Porsche 911, 1993 Lexus GS300, 1993 Lexus SC300, 1991-1993 Volkswagen Passat, and 1989 Porsche 911. Some Porsche 911 applications note two plugs per cylinder and specific gap requirements, so confirm the engine specification before service.
