That's good but I wasn't referring to yours but the ones you pulled out.I purchased it from rock auto
If they were purchased from Amazon I would be a little skeptical.

So is the last number key to the heat range? So a 2500 plug for example runs cooler than a 2509 plug?Heat range is how the spark plug dissipates heat to the cylinder head. A colder plug transmits more heat to the head and the tip stays cooler. A hotter plug retains more heat.
A hotter plug might help with oil burning deposits.
If a 7090 ( BKR5EGP) plug is stock for your engine, Then a hotter plug by 1 range would be a 7092 ( BKR6EGP).
I would look at the ngk plug number I.E. BRK5 4 is a hotter plug.So is the last number key to the heat range? So a 2500 plug for example runs cooler than a 2509 plug?
Ok. Rock auto has a thing where it shows that particular plug hear range. Most iridium plugs show at 16 heat range where copper and platnum plugs show at 5 heat range. So is 5 good in this case? Because the chart shows bigger numbers being colder so I’m confused.
Sorry i typed it wrong, A lower number is hotter! There may not be a hotter plug, let me search.Ok. Rock auto has a thing where it shows that particular plug hear range.

So when I look on rock auto, it only shows ngk plugs with a 5 in the item number. Does the site only want to give me options for the same heat range my car accepts?Sorry i typed it wrong, A lower number is hotter!
Whatever happened to cleaning and gapping plugs? Many shops had a machine in which a plug would be inserted and cleaned with some abrasive material. When I was a kid, my uncle would bring his car to our place to do tune-ups., etc. I'd take his old plugs and clean them with sandpaper and emery cloth and then regap them for him.If I removed plugs that looked like that, I would absolutely put in new ones.
I think that fine tip plugs such as platnum and iridium are more delicate so it’s easier and safer to just get new onesWhatever happened to cleaning and gapping plugs?

Good idea. Have two sets of plugs, every once in a while swap them out, clean the other set when you have time, repeat as needed.Whatever happened to cleaning and gapping plugs?

An ngk FR4GP would be hotter.Sorry i typed it wrong, A lower number is hotter! There may not be a hotter plug, let me search.
I might end up getting ngk copper v power plugs and just cleaning them every so often so they don’t get contaminated. I don’t like to clean fine wire plugs because you can damage them easilyHave you tried a piston soak with Berrymans B12, in an attempt at freeing the oil ring and drain holes? Sometimes this can reduce oil consumption. Especially if followed by a more viscous full synthetic oil that cleans.
What oil are you using?
I'd replace the plugs with the same ones. Fine wire plugs are more likely to fire when contaminated. Might even consider a heat range hotter.
I’ve done some reading and the ngk copper v power plugs run 1/2 point hotter than the standard ngk copper. This way if I get copper I can clean them and soak them more so they don’t get contaminatedAn ngk FR4GP would be hotter.

If you want non precious metal, a hotter plug would be ; BKR4EI might end up getting ngk copper v power plugs and just cleaning them every so often so they don’t get contaminated. I don’t like to clean fine wire plugs because you can damage them easily

You could with nickel center plugs. But precious metal plugs are brittle and thin. You have to careful even gapping them. Many plugs are pre-gapped, you don't touch them. Easy to scratch or break damage the fine brittle electrode on an expensive plug. I check the gap on mine, but i use a feeler gauge and start out small, i don't let it drag. Round, coin type gappers are a no no.Whatever happened to cleaning and gapping plugs? Many shops had a machine in which a plug would be inserted and cleaned with some abrasive material.
