2019 RDX Spark plug Replacement NGK/Autolite

I bought this car about 6 months ago, it currently has 85K on it, and I want to change the sparkplugs to NGK. I cannot for the life of me find any parts number or availability for this car other than Bosch or autolite.
Living up in canada, the parts numbers ive been able to find so far are
Dealer - NGK 12290-6A0-A01 (DILKAR8P8SY) i havent been able to find them, or research anything about them just genuine honda part.
The dude at the local parts shop said the NGK 6043 should fit, and the autolite XP5682 are the OEM.

Theres some conflicting info. Ive checked canadian tire, parts source, and NAPA and some of these pages cite different gap specs.

Can someome direct me, what part number, what would work and where do I order them from

hey @Dan_Ouz I had the same strange issue when searching. Ended up landing on these:

https://www.ngk.com/ngk-95660-ilzkar...ium-spark-plug

Replaced at about 55k miles and have run them for about 5k with no issues, etc... I understand its the incorrect model by one letter, but I verified gap before install and seem to be fine...

I had to buy the autolites. But I looked into the NGK you mentioned. How did you stumbled upon this item? Every site I've used says it doesn't fit.

I've never seen Autolites for Honda/Acura as OEM...

Im hoping to be able to find the 95660. I see that they fit the '19 CRV, and CRV also uses the same autolite plugs

went down a rabbit hole which led me to other Honda forums looking for info on spark plug experience on other K20C4 motor and landed on these.

I'm pretty sure Honda/Acura OEM is Denso. for whatever reason OP is seeking NGK. As far as the DIY, its only a few steps.. remove the plug plunger thing, unscrew old, screw in new w/a tiny touch of anti-seize, and done... The only hold up I had was my old spark plug socket didnt fit so I purchased this one from Amazon:

I get the general idea, but was looking for specific steps from service manual, tools needed, torque specs and etc

After my purchase of the autolites which were the only ones i could find on the market, the ones in the car were infact "Dealer - NGK 12290-6A0-A01 (DILKAR8P8SY)"

As per installation, its pretty straight forward removing the ignition coil boot, and removing the old and in with the new. Typically speaking once its tight, i just do about a 10 degree turn and thats typically toque spec for spark plugs.
