The spark plug on the right is 10000% original because it's still working even though it's over 5 years old and has more than 87,000 km on it. The new ones show a little over 5 kilo-ohms, which matches Denso's specification. The old ones show a bit over 3.5 kilo-ohms due to wear.
Go NGK and Iridium. They are a better spark and help burn any sediment off the tip. Also bonus is, they last about 50-80,000km.
NGK/Denso are good plugs for my car I used IK20 Denso plugs as they are iridium plugs which is what you want as they last much longer and are better quality
the spark plug is less than 10k km old (bosch) so I initially did not change it. Decided to change it anyway to original mercedes (turns out made my NGK) bam emission passed, LTFT now hovers at 5-8%.
If you do get plugs, go with NGK plugs instead. Good quality.
I've been running Denso Iridium on 7 Saabs for years.. both 9.3 V6 and 9.5 2.3l... never an issue on any after 100s of thousand of miles.
I installed these NGK 94833 plugs a few weeks prior. They are pre-gapped to .031 according to Urotuning.
I changed my own with about 50 US in tools. Its a pain to do without dropping the motor down which i didn't do.It took me about 3 hrs for 4 plugs. Replaced with nkg plugs at about 25 each. I have the tools and know how but I'd probably pay someone 500 dollars to not do it again. It was an eye opening experience.
During a 300 mile trip in 100 degree weather, my car decided to start shaking horrendously, and the check engine light started blinking. Ford Pass notified me of a cylinder misfire. Apparently the spark plug was missing a piece, and there was extensive damage. Metal debris throughout the engine, turbo charger, multiple lines and drains. Everything has to be replaced.. but luckily it’s all covered by the 5yr/60k powertrain warranty. Such a huge failure at 46k miles is disappointing. I love the car but definitely have trust issues now.
Autolite are pure trash maybe suitable for a lawn mower if you like breaking plugs off in heads
