FAQs

Do I need to adjust the electrode gap?

No, this Bosch spark plug comes factory-pre-set with the correct electrode gap, so no adjustment is necessary before installation.

Can I lubricate the spark plug threads?

No, Bosch advises against lubricating the spark plug threads. This ensures proper torque is applied and prevents potential issues.

How many spark plugs do I need to buy?

This product is sold as a single unit. You will need to determine the number of spark plugs required for your specific vehicle's engine and purchase accordingly.

What does 'anti-seize nickel-plated housing' mean?

This refers to a coating on the spark plug's metal housing and threads that prevents corrosion and makes future removal easier, providing excellent engine protection.
