You should verify fitment by checking your vehicle's owner's manual, consulting a professional mechanic, or using your vehicle's VIN to confirm compatibility with part number 0242145510.

What does 'OE-quality' mean?

OE-quality means the part is manufactured to the same standards and specifications as the original parts fitted to the vehicle by the manufacturer, ensuring reliable performance and exact fitment.

Troubleshooting

Engine misfire after installation

Ensure the spark plug was tightened correctly and is the exact OE-fitment for your vehicle. Check all ignition components, including spark plug wires or coil packs.

Difficulty threading the spark plug

Stop immediately. You may be cross-threading. Ensure the spark plug is aligned correctly and thread it in by hand for the first few turns. If resistance continues, check the spark plug and cylinder head threads for damage.

Reduced fuel economy or power

Verify that the spark plug has the correct electrode gap (0.7mm) for your application and that it is properly torqued. An incorrectly gapped or installed plug can lead to inefficient combustion.
