The new spark plugs are compat- ible with engines that are turbo- charged or have gasoline direct injection (GDI) systems.

Other features include a double iridium firing pin and ground electrode pin (replacement for OE applications using plugs with pin-to-pin design), a fine wire firing pin for better ignitability and maximized durability, and OE-matched spark position for compatibility with new GDI technology.
