Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the required thread diameter, reach, seat type, and heat range before installation. The DPR7EA-9 uses a flat seat, 12 mm thread, 0.75 inch reach, and 18 mm hex, so matching the engine specification is important for proper sealing and combustion chamber fit. Check the gap against the engine requirement before installation, even though this plug is pre-gapped at .036 inch.

For best results, replace spark plugs on a cold engine and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specification. Confirm the correct application by part number when servicing Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or other vehicles that specify NGK 5129.
