New spark plugs at 72,500 miles

[vavavroom]

The old spark plugs were Beru Ultra Platinum 12ZR6SPP21. They were in the engine for the last 58,000 miles.


The new spark plugs are NGK Laser Iridium ILZKBR7B8G.


PSA 1.6 liter I4 turbo engine
I added a bottle of Red Line SI-1 to the last tank before the spark plug change.

Snug as a bug. The spark plug well is well sealed by the coil seal. There was no notable dirt aggregated at the bottom of the hole.

I now know what that one 12-point spark plug socket in my kit is for.

What vehicle were these in?

Fun job, and no oil in the spark plug wells is a nice bonus!

Did you use the angle torque on the NGK box or the N-m value from Mini?

I have always had good/great running vehicles using NGK Lasers.

Same here. By the way, I got those iridium plugs for much less than the price of the Beru platinum.plugs.
