E3 Spark Plugs are the product of years of fundamental research in the combustion field. The unique patented electrode configuration of these new E3 spark plugs increases the amount of combustion pressure created during each power stroke of an engine, which results in a marked increase in power output, fuel economy, and reduced emissions in all gasoline engines.

Product Features:
  • E3's DiamondFire edge to edge electrode provides maximum performance with increased efficiency and a faster more complete burn
  • Smoother Acceleration & Idle - The faster flame initiated by the E3 spark plug results in a more complete burn of the ingested fuel charge. More pressure is created against the piston more fuel is put to work
  • Energy - Power output improved by 6% on average in the typical operating ranges
  • Efficiency - E3 "diamond shaped" side wire electrode projects the combustion spark in a way that more quickly ignites the air/fuel mixture, thereby creating a significantly faster and longer flame kernel
  • Emissions - E3 provides a cleaner burning combustion, which translates into fuel savings and reduced engine carbon deposits
  • E3 Spark Plugs are pre-gapped at the factory to meet O.E. requirements
  • E3 Automotive spark plugs are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a limited 5 years or 100,000 miles from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover plugs installed in any modified engine or used in any racing, aircraft, or commercial application. Spark plugs damaged by abuse, accidents, or improper installation or applications are not cover by the warranty.

        The acid test would be if I'd done a dyno pull with a new set of 'standard' plugs then another pull with these. I did not do that.
        I can tell you they work as spark plugs - how much of the hype you believe is up to you.

        Comments about E3 Premium Special Electrode Automotive Spark Plug:

        I'm just an average everyday driver. I fell for their claim of better fuel efficiency. If you are planning to buy this plug to improve your mileage, don't bother. Buy the regular plugs for your vehicle at a MUCH cheaper price. My mpg is the same as before in my 2008 Hyundai Elantra. Happy New Year!!!

                I installed these plugs in my '99 4.0 SOHC, slightly Race modified Ford Explorer. These spark plugs initially impressed me with what felt like a little more power but after 2 days, started misfiring and lite up my "check engine" light. OBD test came up with misfire. Never had this issue with any other plugs. Removed and went back to Autolites. Need to look into how to get refund.
