Featuring E3’s patented Diamond Fire edge-to-edge ground electrode, it delivers a faster, more complete burn for smoother acceleration and idle. The innovative “diamond-shaped” side wire electrode ensures quicker ignition of the air/fuel mixture, creating a larger flame kernel and improving power output by up to 6% on average. Its nickel center and ground electrode tips provide durability and reliable performance, while the tapered seat type ensures a secure fit. Pre-gapped at the factory for convenience, this spark plug also promotes cleaner combustion, reducing engine carbon deposits and contributing to fuel savings. Designed to maximize efficiency and power, its a smart upgrade for any vehicle.

Product Features:
  • E3’s Diamond Fire edge to edge ground electrode provides maximum performance with increased efficiency and a faster more complete burn.
  • Smoother Acceleration & Idle – The faster flame initiated by the 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 up to 6% on average in the typical operating ranges. Results will vary.
  • Efficiency – The “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 larger flame kernel. The result is that more fuel is put to work durin
  • E3’s patented Diamond Fire Technology provides a cleaner burning combustion, which translates into fuel savings and reduced engine carbon deposits
  • The Spark Plugs are pre-gapped at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
