two stupid spark plug questions

my 99 owners manual says use PFR5G-11 plugs
- what brand are these?
- why is no gap given? do they come pre gapped?

Thank you

Use NGK ONLY. Coppers are $2 each, last for 30k miles. Platinums are $11 each, last for 60k.

They come pre-gapped, but I always confirm the gap with feeler gauges. I think it's .044", better double check that.

Gap is given, the 11 in the number stands for .044".

There is a little tolerance though...the manual states that it should be .039"-.044"

Use only NGK as stated above.

Go with the coppers, unless you just like spending more money on the same thing.
