Min Ghee or Connard, the Mit stockists.

 

GDI engine shld only use stock NGK plug, which is double tipped. Each pc about $9. Changed mine at 45,000 km (Mit recommned change every 40,000km) although there wasn't any deterioration of performance. Old plugs looked OK too.

Most of plug use on GDi engine will end with carbon sooted before reaching 10 K km mileages especially the OE plug NGK BKR5EKUD.

How come the Mitsubishi authorized workshop recomend 40 K spark plug replacement ???

Re. GDi engine, the fuel is not injected throught inlet chamber, but injected in such way mixtured with air "directly" into combustion chamber, therfore need stronger or "higher intensity" spark to get perfect combusiton process.

Recomended OWS

Denso Iridium not suitable for GDI engine.

[Ballistic]

Important for GDi engine plug,

Most mechanic never pay attention about the Reach "R" (Thread length) from GDi plug.

GDi plug has 22.5 mm reach (around 3.5 mm longer than normal plug)

and most mechanic never know without measure it, since it seem the same length

with normal plug, and GDi plug has a half thread.

* Please see illustration

Do not gambling with shorter thread that may cause engine damages.

Call Jeffrey 98197786 for an appointment.

He is veteran for GDi engine.

Mercedes recommended spark plug replacement every 60,000 km with OE plug double platinum. Denso Iridium recommended replacement every 30,000 km. Bosch Super4 Platinum + Yttrium recommended replacement every 30,000 km. Volker Iridium + platinum come with warranty 160,000 km / 2 years infact factory claimed and tested reach up to 200,000 km+ without replacement. Only double platinum plug can reach 100,000 km.
