NGK BCPR5EIX Iridium IX Spark Plug (Stock No. 5688)
The NGK BCPR5EIX is a high-quality iridium spark plug designed for clean ignition, reliable starts, and long service life. Its fine iridium tip needs less voltage to spark, which helps under load and at high RPM. A projected insulator and resistor design improves idle quality and reduces radio interference.
This plug suits many petrol engines that use a 14 mm gasket-seat, projected, resistor plug in NGK heat range 5. Always confirm fitment using the vehicle lookup or check the Vehicle Fitment tab.
- Sharper spark for better throttle response and smoother idle
- Long-lasting 0.6 mm iridium centre electrode
- Stable performance under heat and high cylinder pressure
