Product Features:
Engineered with a platinum-to-platinum design that prevents gap erosion, extending the life of the spark plug.
The yttrium-Enhanced Ground Electrode delivers superior heat transfer that delivers more durability under high temps and pressure for greater life.
Its high alumina ceramic insulator provides optimum thermal conductivity and dielectric strength.
The multi-rib insulator prevents flash-over.

Awesome Spark Plugs
Wow as I have some good exciting news about these spark plugs. I installed them in my 97 Ford F-150 4.6 V8 right along with some new Duralast Spark Plug Wires right, when I turn the ignition over to reveal the results, I was excited at the results of hearing the smooth idle of my ride with them new plugs and wires. I am impressed with the performance of those plugs. They improve my engine performance. They are top notch. I definitely recommend them to anyone. I put my trust in them. They stopped the low speed hesitation i was experiencing, now I do not hear or feel it anymore. Truck feels better. Great investment in them, Autolite you're the best. I had a misfiring on cylinder 3. I am back on the road, they exceed performance to me, I give them a A+++++ beyond. My truck drive very smooth now, better than before. I do not feel like I can feel the idle at a stop light or stop sign, man I got some excellent plugs, now time will tell how good they will last from now until 5 years of the warranty. I'm ready to see will they improve great gas mileage.

Each plug had smuges and grease on them
The plugs all had smudges and grease on them out of the box, could tell they were cleaned and the boxes were opened before I purchased them.
Hi Jerry! We do only install automotive batteries and wiper blades at our stores. However, I'd recommend that you call us at 1-877-ADVANCE (238-2623) and press option 3 so that you could speak to our store customer care and they will be in a better position to assist you.
Just a tip... The Acura service manual says the plug gap spec. is .039"-.043" IDK why they say .044 is spec. 40 Year ASE Master Tech. always set new plug gap to the tight end of the spec because the gap increases with mileage on the plug.

Are these plugs pre‐gapped exactly for a 2009 mercury grand marquis at 1.4mm?
Verified Reply - Steve
Hi Tony, I'm glad to help you! This Autolite Double Platinum Spark Plug (Part # APP104) is an exact fit for your 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis with a preset gap of 1.27mm. All the spark plugs are pre-gapped from the factory, the fact remains that the gap must be adjusted for the vehicle that the spark plug is intended for.
