NGK 96008 Spark Plug

NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plug 96008

NGK 96008 is a Laser Iridium High Ignitability spark plug built for precise ignition performance and OE-style durability. It uses an iridium center electrode, a dual fine electrode ground design, and a 0.032 in pre-gap to support consistent spark delivery in modern high-output engines.

Compatible with select Lexus, Nissan, Toyota, and INFINITI applications, including Lexus GX550, LS500, LX600, LX700h, Nissan Z, Toyota Sequoia, Toyota Tundra, INFINITI Q50, and INFINITI Q60. This NGK Laser Iridium High Ignitability Spark Plug line is engineered for vehicles that call for a high-ignitability plug design and long service intervals.

Product Details

NGK is a long-standing OE supplier and manufacturer of spark plugs for domestic and import vehicles in North America. The 96008 part number, also identified as DILKAR8K8G, reflects NGK’s Laser Iridium High Ignitability spark plug design for applications that require precise spark control and factory-style service intervals. In fitments such as Lexus LS500, Toyota Tundra, and INFINITI Q50, this plug supports the ignition demands of modern turbocharged and performance-oriented engines.

This part cross-references Haynes 96008 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by worn or fouled spark plugs
• Rough idle from inconsistent spark delivery
• Misfire conditions related to plug wear
• Reduced throttle response from degraded ignition performance
• Service interval replacement for OE-recommended spark plug maintenance

Installation Notes

Verify the engine application against the vehicle’s service information before installation. Check the plug gap against the specified 0.032 in requirement where applicable, and confirm the flat seat, thread diameter, reach, and heat range match the original equipment specification. Use proper torque procedures during installation to protect the cylinder head and ensure correct sealing.
