NOTE:

  • Spark plug tightening torque: 30 Nm/21.6 ft. lbs.
  • It is recommended to lubricate the threads of spark plugs lightly with graphite grease (Molykote paste HTP white), or equivalent, prior to installation. Make sure paste is kept off the electrode and inside of the spark plug!

Bosch Platinum Spark Plugs

Spark plugs designated with the letters “DPO”, or W3DPO on the new Bosch spark plug Designation System correspond with the conventional design platinum spark plugs from the old system which were W28OP21.

Spark plugs with the letters “DP” or CP or W5DP or W3CP are platinum spark plugs of the new design with a sintered center electrode. These spark plugs must not be installed when conventional design platinum spark plugs “P21” or “DPO” only are specified.
