Do you know which spark plug is right for your car?
Many people don’t realise that you can’t use a “common” spark plug in a today’s cars and expect them to run properly, in fact doing this can cause a lot of engine damage!
Poor Ignitability Can Cost
Using a spark plug not specifically designed for your car could result in catastrophic engine failure. A thread reach too long can hit the piston and valves causing permanent engine damage, alternatively a plug with too short a thread reach will have poor ignitability.

Poor ignitability will result in an incomplete combustion cycle; resulting in unburnt fuel entering the exhaust system and having a negative downstream effect on the vehicles oxygen sensors and catalytic converter, thus increasing vehicle emissions and impacting performance.
