Going to buy sparks tommorow what is the difference between the:

NGK BKR5E-11 and NGK BKR5EGP?
$3 a piece $4 a piece

from my archive of posts I have saved these 2 sparks were always recommended to be put in our cars but not sure which is best.

Thanks

 

My records show NGK BKR 5E -11 are the coppers you want. Platinums are NKG PFR 5G-11. I don't know about the BKR 5EGP - a new one on me.

 

platinum is oem for maximas...I ONLY go with stock oem for spark plugs....go to the dealership and pay 60 bucks...they are pre-gapped, guaranteed no problems, and you will have peace of mind....also platinum is 60K and copper is 30K.....either is ok but I stick to platinum....just my 2 cents

 

Cool, I went with NGK BKR 5E -11 there suprisingly cheaper than expected.

yes platinum is the oem spark plug but the coppers fuction just as well as the platinums and perforums just as well or a bit better, plus @ ~$10 for 6, I saved $50, I dont mind changing my sparks 30K from now, maintinance/mods are an enjoyable pass time for me so it no biggie at all.


thank you all for ther responces.

 

you got the spark plugs from the dealer or other auto stores?

 

glad to hear you got the coppers and saved some money...:-)...you are right they perform the same way :-)

 

auto store, gave him the part number and told him I need 6 of them. NGK V-power.

 

so basically NGK V-power is NGK BKR5E-11 ??

 

Yes they are bought them and put them in, the car is feeling soo much better with the NGK and castrol oil. Wow.
