[@dbfcrell8300]

PSA... I have an early NGK Ruthenium series of 4 videos here on YT, and if I've learned anything about these plugs, it's to keep the gap at factory spec if your engine is not modified. I also learned that since your engine will be peppier, you tend to use it, so your gas mileage tends to not be actual until you calm down and drive like grandma to get actual numbers. After all said and done, I got about 1mpg more than the stock Denso Dbl Platinums in my engine.

I love my NGK Ruthenium spark plugs and after 25,000 miles in my 2016 Mustang GT Premium manual is still running like the day I installed them so don’t listen to the bs reviews saying the Iridium’s are better.

[@BlueThunder1965]

I have these plugs in my 2015 Volvo Xc60 3.0 turbo inline 6. I went 1 step cooler and it made a huge difference over stock heat range. Engine responsiveness has improved all the way to 6700 rpm.

[@Logan-de3xx]

I just installed these today in my 2003 Grand Cherokee 4.7 NON High Output and it’s amazing. Everyone says oh no stick to the copper core because the manufacturer recommends it 😑 just make sure they’re gapped correctly. All of mine were not gapped perfectly. Night and day difference for me. Smoother and more fuel efficient noticeably for me.

[@motavice3499]

Are you saying the copper or ruthenium weren't gapped properly?

[@discgolflife]

I've had these in my v-6 Camry for 40k miles. Still rolling solid! My car runs great. Usually if it is shifting funny or the timing seems off, the mass airflow sensor is probably dirty!

What does the OP mean by “broken in”? I’ve been working on engines of all types for 55 years (and built and tuned the ignition system of my competition car from scratch) but I’ve never heard of anyone talking about breaking plugs in before.

NGK ARE THE BEST❤

[@holtwoodruff1704]

So with the NGK Laser iridium 92924 for my Honda 3.5L V6, they come preset with a 0.044" preset gap. And you don't change the Gap on those cause it will screw them up. Those Ruthenium plus look different though. So check if NGK says the gap is adjustable on the 95609 plugs. The Gap and the plug tip a engineered together for the optimal spark on these high igniteability plugs. Changing the preset gap may make them worse. They aren't your grand dad's copper Champion plugs where you can muck with the gap to your heart's content. Those of us who have been re-building engines since points ignition get how much less you need to do modern engines like this. Yes, I have a 66 F100 with original FE block engine and a 2017 F150 with 5.0 Coyote just for reference.

[@KarzKreated]

The gap is adjustable. You can adjust the gap on any plug technically speaking. You just run the risk of damaging the fine electrode tips.

[@cameronmay843]

So is that why my engine was running rough when i gapped them .040 cuz it was recommended. Than i closed the gap to .038 ish and it runs better. Do you think i should close the gap to .030??

[@holtwoodruff1704]

@@cameronmay843 These High Igniteability Plugs have a much hotter spark at a smaller gap than platinum and and copper plugs. The flash of the spark is what ignites the gasoline vapors and the recommended gaps are for the plugs the engineers specked for the engine from the factory. There is a tendency to over-gap these Iridium and Ruthenium plugs thinking it will make a bigger spark. But it probably reduces spark rather than improves it. Running too hot of spark can run the risk of piston damage if it's more than is needed for the best combustion in that cylinder with a given fuel ratio. And in modern EFI, the fuel ratio is always adjusting within a range anyway, unlike a carb. Where the choke is the only thing that can reduce air ratio to fuel. But the fuel ratio is fixed from the Venturi always.

[@austinfaith19]

​@holtwoodruff1704 what did you gap yours for the 5.0. Dud you leave them the stock gat at the factory .044 or gap to .052?

[@holtwoodruff1704]

@@austinfaith19 I actually never installed them in the 2017 F150 5.0. It didn't need plugs yet due to low miles. And I ended up selling it because we needed something different for the family.

[@BoguyversGarage]

Glad to know it wasn't just in my head. I put some ruthenium plugs in my Mazda 3s and thought the same thing. I've been running them for probably 2yrs or more. Still runs great. Never really noticed any change in fuel economy but they have lasted great

[@silvertbird1]

Excellent review, I'm going to get these plugs. Changing the plugs in my 2020 Mustang Ecoboost is about all I'm able to do with my limited mechanical ability, so hopefully will see some improvement. Confused about the gapping, an online company sells these pre-gapped at 28 but too expensive with shipping so will buy them locally and figure out which gap to use.

[@Breakstuff5050]

Buy a spark plug gapper. It looks like a big coin with gap measurements. I'm sire there are plenty of youtube videos to show you how to do it. It's easy, just don't get too strong handed with it.

[@Rickbearcat]

What are heat ranges for the spark plugs and why do you need "colder" ones? Would not "hotter" ones ignite the fuel better?

[@KarzKreated]

I think they are heat range 7. It's to reduce heat transfer and limit the possibility of detonation.

[@Rickbearcat]

@@KarzKreated...What makes a spark plug colder? Can a spark plug be too cold for the engine and not function properly?

[@X85283]

@@Rickbearcat The heat range isn't how hot the spark is, it is how quickly the heat is transferred away from the electrode. If too hot the electrode can't shed heat fast enough and could be so hot it acts as a glow plug and gives you pre-ignition. If it is too cold, however, the plug can foul more easily - you want the heat to be in the electrode for a bit as it helps it stay cleaner for longer.

Believe it or not the more gap the more horsepower. Of course there is a limit, but always use as much gap as possible. Most likely you could go with 40 thousandths gap without issue, and it would be another significant gain from what your experiencing now.
