FAQs

What is the main advantage of a platinum spark plug?

Platinum spark plugs, like the NGK 5598, offer a significantly longer service life and more consistent performance compared to standard copper or even iridium plugs due to the durability of the platinum material.

How do I know if this spark plug is compatible with my car?

You should always consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a reliable automotive parts database to confirm the specific spark plug part number recommended for your engine.

What does '5 kOhm interference suppression' mean?

This feature means the spark plug has a built-in resistor that reduces radio frequency interference (RFI) generated by the spark, which can protect your vehicle's electronic systems, such as the radio or onboard computer.

Can I reuse an old spark plug if it looks okay?

It is generally recommended to replace spark plugs as a set when they reach their service interval. Even if they look visually acceptable, their internal components may be worn, leading to reduced performance.

What is the correct gap for this spark plug?

The correct gap depends on your vehicle's specifications. Always refer to your car manufacturer's recommended gap setting and use a feeler gauge to measure and adjust the gap on the new spark plug before installation.

What torque should I use when installing this spark plug?

Refer to your vehicle manufacturer's service manual for the precise torque specification. Over-tightening can damage the spark plug or the cylinder head, while under-tightening can lead to poor sealing.

Troubleshooting

Engine misfire or rough idle

Check spark plug gap, ensure proper torque during installation, and verify the spark plug wire or coil is securely connected. Consider replacing if worn.

Difficulty starting the engine

Verify correct spark plug installation and ensure the gap is set accurately. Check for other potential ignition system issues.

Reduced fuel economy

Ensure spark plugs are correctly gapped and torqued. Worn spark plugs can lead to inefficient combustion; replace if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable platinum construction for longer lifespan.
  • Consistent and reliable spark for improved engine performance.
  • Built-in interference suppression protects electronics.
  • Standard sizing for straightforward installation.

Cons

  • Specific thread length and seat type may limit universal application.
  • Platinum design might be a higher initial cost compared to standard copper plugs.
  • Requires proper torque and gapping for optimal function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Before installation, verify that the NGK 5598 Spark Plug (PTR6D-13) is listed as compatible with your specific vehicle's make, model, and year. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a trusted automotive parts database.

Installation:

  1. Ensure the engine is cool.
  2. Remove the old spark plug using the appropriate size wrench (16mm spanner size for this plug).
  3. Check the gap of the new spark plug using a feeler gauge and adjust if necessary according to your vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
  4. Carefully thread the new spark plug into the cylinder head by hand to avoid cross-threading.
  5. Tighten the spark plug using a torque wrench to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Over-tightening can damage the cylinder head or the plug.
  6. Reconnect the spark plug wire or ignition coil.

Care:

Spark plugs are typically a maintenance item and are not designed for user servicing beyond checking the gap during installation. If a spark plug appears fouled or damaged, it should be replaced.
