Best spark plugs for CL9 Accord Euro (2003)

**mrdouble08** · 26-08-2009 01:33 PM

What brand/model does everyone recommend for a spark plug? Bosch fusions are on special from Super Cheap (4 for $79) however i'm lead to believe that NGK irdiums are the perfect replacement?

Also does anyone know what has to be done for the 100,000km and 120,000km services? Honda reckons that the manual transmission oil is replaced at the 120 mark but the cd manual thing I bought from ebay (by the way is awesome) says 100,000km mark.

NGK Iridiums come with the car as STOCK. You can use NGK iridium or Denso iridium.
NGK's part number is IZFR6K11. Denso's part number is SKJ20DRM11.

NGK have two types of iridium spark plug the one to look for are the 'Laser' ones which come with the euro from the factory or just by the part number as stated by Aaron

I'm doing my gearbox now at 80k and I believe that's way too long, now that I own the car, the box oil will be done every 40k.. Gonna get them to check the plugs too and replace if needed, I did the iridium plugs on the Subaru every 50k

I agree with the gearbox every 40k. I do mine every 2 years, which is about 40k. As for the plugs, I bought a spare set at 60k and inspected the original ones. There was no wear and no problems, so I left them in there until 80k. I'm on the new set now and I can feel zero difference, which means the original set were still not worn out at 80k eventhough I had been to a few trackdays.

So the Honda is friendly to the plugs ay? Maybe cause subarus to this day are never tuned properly to run aus fuel, they are all tuned rich, and foul plugs I guess!

Do you notice a good difference on these box's with new fluid? Mind feels a tiny bit notchy these days.. But then again it's original 2004 oil!

I change mine every 2 years. Helps with the notchy 2nd gear.
