Denso Double Platinum

DENSO is the pioneer in introducing platinum spark plugs to the automotive aftermarket, but has hardly been content to rest on that achievement. Conventional platinum plugs use platinum for only the center electrode, while the DENSO Double Platinum plug features platinum on both the center and ground electrodes. This precious metal fights corrosion and erosion, ensuring superior spark performance and maximum spark plug life capable of extended operation in excess of 60,000 miles.

Platinum

Platinum is one of the rarest metals on earth and one of the most valuable. However, it also happens to be an excellent material for spark plugs, thanks to its superior resistance to corrosion and erosion in harsh environments – like those inside modern, high-tech engines.

DENSO Double Platinum spark plugs incorporate the precious metal on both the center and ground electrodes, not just on the center electrode as with conventional platinum plugs. The result is a significant improvement in spark plug life. DENSO engineering studies show that Double Platinum plugs can run longer with reduced erosion, minimizing spark gap growth throughout the life of the plug. The bottom line: your car can run better, longer.



Vehicle Compatibility

  • Please search for 'Denso AM E-Catalogue' on a search engine to verify fitment.

  • If there's a compatibility chart added to this listing, use it as a guide only and verify fitment with Denso's e-cat first. The reason we say this is because Denso's online part finder catalogue is constantly being updated with more recent fitment data and it also includes bugs/error fixes.



Installation

WARNING - DO NOT USE COPPER GREASE (AKA COPPER SLIP, ANTI-SEIZE, THREAD COMPOUND) ON MODERN SPARK PLUG THREADS!

  • Using such lubricants can result in over-torqued values with a torque-wrench by up to 20 percent! Possibly causing major damage.
  • Virtually all modern spark plugs feature a special zinc-chromate shell plating which provides corrosion resistance to the elements.
  • Spark plugs should be torqued/tightened down with a dry thread only.
  • On spark plugs that feature a crush-able base gasket washer, be prepared for tightening to feel odd in the last stages as it's being crushed.
  • Follow the instructions on the box that show you to finger tighten first and then rotate the amount shown afterwards with a wrench.
  • Only use a spark plug gapping tool which pulls on the ground electrodes neck to adjust the gap on precious metal spark plugs.
  • The only time anti-seize compound should be used is on vintage spark plugs that have a non-coated, usually black surface.
