NGK BP5EFS Spark Plug – Stock No. 3712
This NGK BP5EFS is a standard nickel spark plug with a projected tip and long reach. It gives reliable cold starts, smooth idle, and stable combustion. It suits everyday driving and light performance use where a non-resistor plug is specified.
Use it when you want consistent ignition without going to fine-wire iridium or platinum. It is a good match for many older petrol engines that use a 14 mm, 19 mm reach, gasket-seat plug with a projected insulator and no resistor. Always confirm fitment with the vehicle lookup or the Vehicle Fitment tab.
- Stable spark under load for clean throttle response
- Projected tip helps efficient combustion and reduces fouling
- Non-resistor design for strong spark where RFI is not a concern
Check your engine’s required heat range, reach, and gap before installation.

Fitment Guidance

Installation Tips
– Fit only to cold engines. Set the gap to the vehicle maker’s spec. Tighten to the manufacturer’s torque. Re-check after first heat cycle.
