Can spark plugs of other brand-names be
substituted with

Our spark plugs are compatible with almost all spark
plugs manufactured by other companies.

spark plugs can replace almost all spark plugs fitted as standard in

Japanese and foreign cars. Check for the spark plug you are using in the following table and
select the

spark plug that corresponds to it.

plugs are also compatible not only with standard spark plugs but also with

high performance and racing spark plugs and can also be used in engines where the required
heat range is high, such as in highly tuned engines.

If the spark plug you are using is not in this table, select an

to suit your car

from the following table which lists spark plugs by vehicle type.

For normal engines, select a spark plug with the same heat range as a
standard spark plug. For highly tuned engines, select one with the heat
range that suits the tuning level.
