Hyundai Repair: Hyundai Santa Fe spark plugs, hyundai santa fe, ngk spark plug


Question
I recently purchased spark plugs for my 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe 4 cyl DOHC.  I want to install NGK BPR5EGP plugs.  The ones I removed are a Bosch Platinum 2.  The nut on the plugs are different sizes, with the NGK having the larger nut.  The NGK is what the owners manual calls for.  Are the plugs the same and are they interchangeable?

Answer
According to the shop manual and the owner's manual I currently have available, the correct NGK spark plug is PGR5C-11.  This plug will have a 13/16" hex.

I don't have any information on the Bosch plugs, so even if you were to give me the specific number for your Bosch plugs, I couldn't tell you whether they were correct for your vehicle.  Your local parts store may have an interchangeability chart or application chart that would give you this information.
