I am thinking of getting spark plug for the 97 2.5 tl, and need to know if this is a good one for the car. Also what does this mean "do not gap"? does it mean that it is already pre-gapped for the specific model?
I search with the year and model number and this shows up?

Any recomendation woulld also be appreciated.

BOSCH Part # 4417 More Info {PLATINUM+4; Do not gap. Gap is not adjustable.}
PLATINUM+4; Do not gap. Gap is not adjustable.

 

I know if you go to the NGK website you can find them for the specific model, and they are pre-gapped, claiming that they already have an optimal gap.

 

Bosch Platinum +4 plugs come pre-gapped for common applications. Get the gap specs for the 2.5 and then get the correct Platinum +4 plugs.

Can't go wrong with Bosch Platinum. It'll be 100k+ before you have to change them again.

 

But Platinum +4 sucks arse. It's a gimmick more than anything else, and I'd recommend sticking with the OEM NGK double Plats.

P.S. The reason you can't gap them (+4s) yourself is that there is no reliable way to measure since there isn't a normal gap measurement tool that would fit in.

 

I'd stay away from Bosch spark plugs if i were you.

 

what would be a good NGK for the car? Any part number?

 

I see quite the number of first gen cars here in houston, but for some strange reason not enough on this forum......

 

I see at least 2 or 3 1st gens everyday here in SF. Almost all driven by older ladies and squares who don't look over when you try to wave... One lady was picking her nose... And one nicely modded one didn't have the driver in it.

~Cheers~
