      I drive 60 miles each way to work 5 days a week, mostly highway. I go through oil changes and tune-ups, but these plugs put my car back to running smooth and steady even with 200k miles on it!

          Comments about NGK V Power Spark Plug (BKR5E-11):

          Installed in 2002 Hyundai Elantra GT to replace the stock Platinum plugs. These aren't rated to last as long, but I am told they run "hotter" and provide a better spark. Since I use this car to drive to work and back, I don't really notice a difference, except that they are slightly less expensive than the NGK Platinums. They get the job done.
          Also checked gap using a feeler gauge before installing. There were 1.1mm as described on the box.

                I put these NGK's in my car to replace some old plugs. No issues at all. I did notice a drop in MPG, but that could be just coincidence or just the incredible summer heat we've been having.I use NGK V-Power plugs in my racecar and have always been pleased with them.I used a coupon code found on the Advance Auto Parts page of http://www.sphinxracing.com/Advance_Auto_Parts.html to make a good value even better!

                    • Q:

                      what does the 11 mean in the spark plug BKR5E-11? I have a 2000 Polaris 325 magnum 4x4 ATV and have the BKR5E spark plug. I am replacing the spark plug cap that fits on the plug at the engine and the diameter of the plug is to big at the cap. I can't find the part to fix it. Polaris was no help as they stopped making the part.

                        Please ignore the other answer that says 30 or 50K, THESE ARE 30K PLUGS! Sure they will go 50K but they will not be performing the way they should.
