Nagtanung naman ako dun sa nagbebenta, mukang di nya alam... hay... Help naman po baka may suggestions kayo... medyo marami pa talaga ako di alam about cars
    Try mo NGK Platinum, mga 140 bucks lang. If your standard NGK plug is BKR-6E, the model number of Platinum would be BKR-6EP. Ask your dealer for your right match.

    Very good plug for your car at a cheap price.

    If in doubt, don't. tama si coiter iba ibang rin type ng platinum for every make. i would check the length of the plug and height of the outer electrode. it should match your stock plugs.

    Thanks Sir Marg!

    I'll go with your suggestion. Mahirap na rin sumugal sa ibang plugs dahil baka magkaproblema pa engine in the long run... thanks Sir!

    buhayin ko lang itong thread for updates, ung bosch na plugs umandar siya nang pino sa ford escort ko. So thanks po sa mga nagreply dati at talaga ngang me hindi lang pwede talaga na makina ang bosch plugs na ito. sa mga bibili nalang maghanap muna kayo ng kaparehas na engine na gumamit ng plugs na ito thanks

    kung ang oem po kasi ay ngk dapat ngk po na platinum ang niligay nyo hindi bosch platinum

    medyo naiiba po kasi ang spec kapag mag-jump ka ng ibang brand

    oo merong equivalent ang ngk to bosch and vice versa

    pero kung ano ang oem na brand hanggat maaari doon pa rin tayo

    kulotz,
    every parts store should have a spark plugs substitution catalog. the factors determining what spark plugs to use are:
    1. heat range
    2. reach- the threaded barrel length or your plugs might puncture your pistons
    3. thread size-14 mm or 19 mm(1940's cold running vehicles)
    4. resistor or non-resistor ( resistor to reduce electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference)
    5. seat type- gasket type or tapered seat
    6. socket wrench size- 5/8 ", 13/16", 7/8"
    7. tip design- single ground, twin ground, four ground, barrel ground
    8. tip material- nickel, platinum or iridium
    9. gap design
    the platinum and iridium are used because they are designed for 60-100kmiles intervals between tuneup (labor is expensive outside of the third world countries, yomsayin'). if your engine is run at optimum performance, not too cold nor too hot, and the air/fuel mixture is around 14.7 pounds of air per 1 pound of fuel, it should last up to 60k miles
