NGK - The Ignition Specialist

Most standard iridium plugs will not meet OEM service interval mileage recommendations if used in today’s engines, which can include turbos and superchargers. These elements, in addition to direct injection and high operating temperatures, can shorten a plug’s life span. Using standard iridium plugs can also reduce performance and efficiency and increase emissions.

Get Better Service Life & Performance with High Ignitability

High ignitability spark plugs have specific ground electrode configurations that are designed to produce a wider flame kernel that burns fuel more efficiently (not hotter). These tips are also composed of precious metal material that withstands intense engine environments. NGK is the only spark plug manufacturer to produce all three designs below:
Square Platinum Electrode Spark Plugs
Dual Fine Electrode Spark Plugs
Projected Square Platinum Electrode Spark Plugs
Not only meeting OEM service interval mileage recommendations thanks to its longer service life, high ignitability tips also provide:
a more complete burn of fuel
smoother idling
quicker throttle response
better cold starts
