Only Bosch uses a platinum center electrode, heat-fused into an extended insulator that reaches self-cleaning temperature only seconds after starting. Lower ignition voltage requirements versus other plug designs for reliable cold weather starts and superior operation under all driving conditions. Product Features:OE-Equivalent and direct fit application.Platinum center electrode, heat-fused into an extended insulator.Nickel-plated rolled threads.Tapered, yttrium-enhanced v-profile ground electrode.Electrode gap is factory set and never requires adjustment.Anti-seize and corrosion protection.
