Product Details

Platinum Power™ Spark Plug by Champion®. As the leaders in precious metal technologies as well as F.I.S.S resistor technology and MLR™ technology, Champion spark plugs provide enhanced ignition and longer life.

Champion pioneered the use of iridium in aviation and industrial applications nearly 30 years ago. Champion® Iridium plugs feature an extremely fine-wire iridium center electrode and "laser-locked" platinum V-trimmed ground electrode to ensure superior service life and erosion resistance. In addition, the iridium fine-wire center electrode and platinum V-trimmed ground electrode deliver Champion's trademark ultra-sharp spark focus. Iridium is the precious metal of choice for today's O.E. engine manufacturers worldwide. That's because of its stabilizing effect on ignition voltage and its excellent wear characteristics, which can extend the tune-up cycle for many engines.

Work great on an F150 V8
I bought these to replace the defective two piece OEM plugs that break off on my 2005 F150 V8. These are specifically designed to prevent breakage upon removal and can handle a lot of torque because they are a one piece design. The dealer wanted to install so called improved Motorcraft plugs and I said no way. Once the old plugs were out and these were in, the engine seemed to run a little better. Buy the way, the longer you wait to change the plugs, the more likely you will end up with serious engine damage.

So Far, So Good
I used these to replace the OEM plugs on 2005 and 2007 Ford F-150's. If you've been paying attention, you know most of them need to be replaced, BEFORE they get too old (IE: "carboned" up). These are a much improved design over the OEM version. Seem to work great, so far, after about a year and 30,000+/- miles. Maybe slightly better gas mileage... A little expensive, but we think it was worth it to eliminate a VERY expensive and difficult future problem of broken off plugs.

Exactly as described!
This is an exact replacement and works great. Fixes slow start and rough running engines. Followed the replacement guide and ordered this spark plug replacement for my machine. It fit perfectly the first time and I won't have to replace it again for a while! Very easy install. I will definitely buy these again.

Seem to Be Very Very Good
Spark plugs working very well day of installation. The biggest bonus is these spark plugs have no ribs. This makes pulling the coil boot off the spark plug that much easier after 100,000 miles. The Nissan motor i replaced the plugs on has a tension bolt to keep the coil on the spark plug so the danger of it popping off is gone. Apart from some minor heat dissipation benefits there are no need for ribs. (The picture online and on the box is misleading, as champion used a generic plug of theirs for the photo, and it has ribs). On my original OEM spark plugs the rubber boots stayed on the plugs when I pulled out the coil boot, partly due to the ribbing on plugs. I had to dig them out with a pic and vacuum. That took several hours. I also added dialectric grease to where rubber boot meets plug which will help too.

Very Good
No issues with the delivery, the only 1 installation hint that I was told: I had to adjust the spark plugs to match 0.041" gap. The rest was obvious.
