Product Description
Boschácombines the best features of their +4 plug with the advantages of iridium.áThe Bosch PlatinumIR Fusionáplug fuses iridium with platinum, combining the superior properties of both materials into a singleáfine wire center electrode.á Additionally this plugáusesásurface air gap technology and 4 yttrium enhanced ground electrodes for both performance and extra long life.áThe fine wireáiridium/platinum center electrode (which isáheat fused into the extended ceramic insulator) reducesáthe voltageánecessary to jump the gap as well as reduces quenching.ááTheá4 ground electrode design not only provides multiple radial spark paths,ábut also the surface air gap designácreates optimal exposure of the air/fuel mixture to the enhanced ignition spark. The combination of an iridium/platinum center electrode and the yttrium -enhancement of the ground electrodes even further extends plug life.áThis plug is designed toágive exceptional performance, reach self cleaning temperature faster for quicker starts, smoother acceleration and increased fuel efficiency.á

5 out of 5 stars love these plugs   November 4, 2007

I muat admit. I never did a tuneup on my 2002 Camry, I'm ashamed to say. time just got away from me. Then I noticed I was going to the pump far more often than I should. That forced me to think about a tuneup and replacing my plugs. Fortunately, I thought to spend the extra few dollars over the champions. No disrespect to them, but I just figured I'd put in the best since I was spending so much at the pump.

I put the these Bosch's in and boy oh boy!! I just had to check my consumption. I was averaging 32mpg after this tuneup procedure.

i'm satisfied. Never saw this type design before. Awesome!! worth every penny.

Six month ago I popped these in my vehicle and the car continues to run smoothly and like new. I can't say that they increase performance in a noticeable manner, but I can say they didn't decrease performance. I'm happy overall.


5 out of 5 stars Good Plug - However, No Noticeable Fuel Mileage Increase   March 6, 2009

4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I have two Toyota Camrys. A 2004 SE and 2006 LE. Both have the same 4 cylinder engine. I have always been religious about checking the gas mileage on my cars at every fill up because this relays to me if anything has gone awry. The '04 had 115,000 miles and the '06 had 45,000 when I replaced the plugs. I replaced them mainly to see if it would help the fuel mileage; unfortunately for me, no difference. I'm sure they are good plugs as Bosch is well known for their high quality, however next time I will probably replace using the factory spark plugs.
