NGK PFR5N-11 Platinum Spark Plug – Stock No. 5838
This NGK platinum spark plug delivers a clean, consistent spark for everyday driving and light performance use. The fine-wire platinum centre reduces voltage demand, helping cold starts and smooth idle. It is built for long service life compared with standard copper plugs, while keeping emissions and fuel economy stable when the engine is under load.
It is a resistor type to cut radio interference and protect sensitive electronics. The 1.1 mm factory-set gap makes installation straightforward. Use a torque wrench for best results.
