NGK Iridium Spark Plugs

Paula · 5-23-06, 8:25

Hi everyone,
Well I made it in one piece to Wisconsin via Toronto and Chicago...

Can you kindly remind me which part number is the correct one to buy for the MX6 as against the 626...The MX 6 one is cooler running than the 626 plug.

There was a recent thread on here about the NGK's but I lost the note that I made of the correct part number...

I know that John_S wants me to get a set as they are so much cheaper over here.

Looking forward to a reply.

Take care folks and have a nice day.

Hugs

Paula

Hi Paula, looks like this is the thread you were looking for,

http://www.mx6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157151 (NGK Iridium plugs...)

think the ones you were on about are ZFR5FIX-11

Oh how much are they, btw any chance you could get me a price on some Denso one's whilst your there the one's I want are KJ16CR11 they will be IK16 if they are the irridium power or VK16 if they are irridium tough. Carefull if everyone find out your there you could have a very large luggage load to bring back roflmao

Thanks for the info but I gather that it is better to get the cooler running ZFR6FIX-11's.....

I will check out the NGK prices and also your Denso's.

Back to you soon.

PS....True, I am limited in how much I can carry on an Air Canada airbus !!!

Hi again everyone,

This is interesting.

I have just gone to the following website:

http://www.ngk.com

It is not the official NGK website but they sell plugs.

For 2.5 litre V6 Ford Probes, they suggest ZFR6FIX-11's BUT

for 2.5 litre V6 MX 6's, they suggest ZFR5FIX-11's

I will get the 5's then.

They charge $6.95 each plug but will check out other suppliers later.

In the manual, the std plug is 6 for the mx-6, and 5 for mine..

John

Paula · 5-23-06, 21:37

That's what I thought.

The 6 is the cooler running plug.

Perhaps they think at NGK.com that Probe drivers are faster....

Take care

Hugs

Paula

Hi again hon,

KJ16CR11 are $2.63 each
IK16 are $11.99 each

and they do not list a VK16.

How do these prices compare to the UK?

Not to pinch your thread Paula

but I'm sure I have read that the j-spec takes a different plug than the uk model.Could someone clarify that?Hotter or colder?

Hi Paula I have a link to somone on ebay in the states selling a set of 6 Denso IK16 plugs for $53.99 works out to be about £29 I think.
