Copper and Platinum Spark Plugs
The function of the spark plug is to introduce the ignition energy into the combustion chamber and to initiate combustion of the compressed air-fuel mixture. It accomplishes this task by generating a spark between its electrodes, which then generates the required heat to ignite a smooth burn of the air-fuel mixture.
The spark plug is an important factor in determining optimal performance and reliable functioning of an engine. These requirements apply throughout the entire service life of the spark plug. There are a large variety of different spark plug designs with more than 1,400 variations. Design variants and special materials such as platinum, silver, or Iridium.
During operation, the spark plug is subjected to both wear and to fouling and should be replaced at regular intervals. In the course of its service life, the spark plug undergoes changes that increase the required ignition voltage. When the required voltage reaches a level that can no longer be compensated for by the voltage reserve, the result is misfiring.
Independent tests have shown that installing premium spark plugs such as Bosch Platinum+4 improves fuel mileage by as much as 4.8% over original equipment plugs. Platinum+4 use race-tested technology including multiple electrode paths and more pure platinum to generate strong, consistent sparks.
As a rule, we recommend that you follow the replacement interval listed in your vehicle owners manual, however we highly recommend that you replace your spark plugs annually and replace as required, to insure optimum engine performance.
