Wrong spark plug?
I have a 98 Civic GLI 1.6L which is a D16Y4 right? I checked the spark plugs recently and the model is NGK BKR6E 11 gap. They were installed during a major service earlier during the year and seems to be fine.
i decided to check the NGK site.
This is what i should have: ZFR5J-11 11/95 - 12/00 HONDA Civic 1.6L EFI D16Y4
But I have these: BKR6E-11, 1993 - 1995 HONDA Civic 1.6L EFI D16Y1
WTF??
any problems? the car has been running fine by the way but i haven't measured performance/fuel consumption.
the plugs have some slightly yellow/orange burn marks on them with not even 10,000km usage.

Spark plugs should be changed every 10k KMs, cleaned every 5k KMs.
Maybe email NGK about it?

yeah i know. i'm pretty sure these spark plugs should last around 40,000km. in my other car i have iridium IX plugs which should last like 60-80k km...
anyone know if running the BKR6E-11 instead of ZFR5J-11 is causing any damage?

I'm not 100% sure it is causing any damage. But by reading and compare the "Part Numbering System" http://www.ngkspark.com.au/sparkplug.php# . They have the same thread diameter (14mm), thread lenght (19 mm), Spark gap (1.1mm), resistor, only the different is heat range (BKR6E-11 is 1 level colder). So I think it did not cause any damage.

why's that?
-
Theres no need because spark plugs last at least 40-50K minimum
-
i knew that much but the way he said it sound like it may be catastrophic if u do.
i change mine every 10k km or so. just starts up and idles smoother and for $16 and under 5 minutes of your time, why not
-
as grifty said, theres no need.
and there no way in hell i could afford $200 every 10k for sparkplugs

just curious why u chose iridium when copper is the cheaper option of the two?
iridium lasts wat? 80,000km?
copper lasts 10,000km. $16 for a set of four
16 x 8 = $128
$128 for copper vs $200 for iridium
