NGK platinum plugs

Hello all,

2000 Boxster S.

Somehow when doing a batch order for a full refresh I ended up with these NGK Platinum G-Power plugs. Single electrode, BKR6EGP. I assume they were the ones selected for the car by the supplier website.

Wasn't until I went to install them when I saw that the pelican book, and OEM, references the 4 electrode plugs.

Should I bother installing these to replace unknown mileage plugs or just throw them in the bin and order the OEM 4 prongs?


Cheers.

Tell your supplier that they sent you the wrong part. The correct NGK plug appears to be the BKR6EK
