NGK BKR5EKUP Spark Plug – Stock No. 2890
The NGK BKR5EKUP is a high-quality, resistor spark plug with a projected tip and twin ground electrodes. It uses a platinum-tipped centre electrode for longer life and stable ignition. This helps cold starts, improves idle quality, and maintains performance over a longer service interval than standard copper plugs.
It is suitable for engines that specify a 14 mm thread, 19 mm reach, gasket seat, NGK heat range 5, and a twin ground design. Please use the vehicle lookup to confirm fitment, or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for full details.
