NGK Ruthenium HX is designed for newer engines which demand high ignitability. Projected Square Platinum Electrode (PSPE) design promotes spark energy concentration and ignites a wider range of air-fuel ratios, offering improved performance in rich or lean engine conditions. 0.4mm Ruthenium alloy fine wire center electrode and 0.8mm platinum fine wire ground electrode. Trivalent metal platinum provides superior anti-corrosion and anti-seizing properties. Corrugated ribs prevent flashover. Pure alumina silicate ceramic insulator provides superior strength and better heat transfer. Copper core aids in heat removal.

Product Function & Benefits
There are an endless number of ways to use some parts. Most maintenance items like fluids and spark plugs will fall into this category.
Tune-Related Impact & Tuner Recommendation
Recommended vs Required:
We universally recommend the NGK 95605 (LTR7BHX) Spark Plug.
For most EcoBoost builds, we recommend a gap of 0.028
These upgrades are not required for tuning. However, it may be recommended to maximize gains, or for general benefit.
Most of these options will not require a tune update. Please be sure to read product information carefully and reach out to us if you have questions!
