OE spark plug strategy

Research has repeatedly shown that the number one consideration customers look for when recommending / fitting a spark plug is OE fitment. OE fitment means that the plug has met many rigorous quality checks and meets the original standards demanded by the vehicle manufacturer.


OE fitment gives the installer / distributor complete confidence that the plug, when fitted, is the correct plug for the engine, that it will perform well and most importantly not give a problem.
