Before you buy:
* Check your owner's manual: This is the definitive source for the manufacturer's recommended spark plugs. It might list several acceptable options.
* Look at your existing plugs: The current plugs will have a code stamped on them. Use this code to find a direct replacement.
Important Considerations:
* Heat Range: The heat range is crucial. Using an incorrect heat range can lead to premature wear or engine damage. Sticking to the manufacturer's recommendations (or a direct equivalent) is important.
* Gap: The spark plug gap should be set to the manufacturer's specifications. This is usually found in your owner's manual or can be looked up online using your engine code. This typically requires a spark plug gapping tool.
Don't hesitate to consult a parts store professional. They can look up the correct plugs based on your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Providing them with the VIN will ensure you get the most accurate recommendation.
