(94124) ILKAR7L11 Laser Iridium Spark Plug (1 Plug)

Installed myself (Youtube University, no experience) and been seen by a dealer. No troubles.

I bought this spark plug for 2019 Mazda CX5. I read several negative reviews that made me concerned. One reviewer indicated that the spark plug gaps were incorrect. I checked mine and all four were correct. Note that the spark plug for turbo version of Mazda's Skyactiv engine has a differerent gap than the non-turbo engine. I am wondering if some of the reviewers are misapplying the part. There was also a complaint about loss of fuel efficiency after replacing the spark plugs. That is serious becuse the engine is a direct-fuel-injection type and it is prone to carbon buildup if fuel is not fully combusted. I decided to collect my car's baseline mpg data before I replace the spark plugs and compare it to the mpg I will be getting after replacing the spark plugs. It turns out many things affect the mpg. I had to collect average mpg over a minimum of 40 mile trip to get a repeatable and reliable data. Ambient temperature and vehicle speed (mph) also affect the mpg. I collected mpg data on long trips from Dallas to Houston, Texas. The 1st was on Dec 24, which was before replacing the spark plugs. I started with a full gas tank; drove at posted speed limits for 261 miles; and when I arrived in Houston, it took 7.582 gallons of gasoline to fill the tank back to full. That resulted in 34 mpg. I replaced the spark plugs on Dec 31st and made another trip from Dallas to Houston on Jan 7th. This time, the trip consumed 8.497 gallons for a 262 miles trip which resulted in 31.5 mpg. That was a loss of 2.5 mpg with the new plugs. I knew that the ambient temperature was lower for the latest trip compared to my trip in December. I decided to repeat the test again. Today, Feb 4th, I made another trip from Dallas Houston. The ambient temperature was 61deg F when I left Dallas and it had dropped as low as 53 deg F at some point in the trip. It was back to 61 deg F when I arrived in Houston. This time, the trip consumed only 6.786 gallons to travel 265.3 miles; which equals to 39.1 mpg! I am wondering if temperature alone can explain the increased mpg for the latest trip or somewhat the spark plug needed some time to be broken-in before it performed well. I do not know the answer. My conclusion is that my new spark plugs are performing as well or beter than the old spark plugs. Will I buy these spark plugs from Amazon again? Probably not. Yes, the part performed well, but I still don't want take a risk of buying a counterfeit which could damage the engine, just to save something like $20 or $30. Next time, I will buy only from a Mazda dealership or from NGK authorized distributor. AutoZone, Advance Autoparts, O'Riley and NAPA are all authorized NGK spark plugs distributors.

Real deal gaped right everything checks out For my mazda3 2020

This spark plug are a perfect fit for the Mazda CX 5 2015. With that said, this OEM item is expected to last and perform as the orginal mazda spark plugs the car came with, and now after 75.000 miles it is time for this to make the replacement. My only complaint is with amazon, the package was terrible and with the wight of the spark plugs in a simple bag, everything came smashed, at least the boxes for each spark plug had a cardboard protector for the electrode. These as recommended for the manufacturer, do not requiere Anti-Seize

Fixed a 3rd cylinder misfire long enough to pawn my car off on carmax! Thanks!

Decided to replace original spark plugs at 62k miles, sprisingly factory plugs still looked OK, went ahead and put in this set but noticed no improvement in engine response whats worse had a decline in MPG not sure why paid premium for these hence the 4 star rating. Update** took them off literally 9k miles and they are crap. Pictures of the oem (left) vs these gap difference was huge. 1 star.

Same code as what is on the original/OEM spark plugs. (only no "Mazda" printed on them of course). Kind of nice to see that the OEM are already the higher-end NGK plugs. They seem original, and are still much cheaper than dealer markup price. They should last 40k miles at least.

One of Mazda's listed compatible spark plugs for the Mazda 6 Skyactiv 2.5. Installed at about 60k miles and the car has been running exactly the same as before installing them (as hoped and expected since I changed them early). I really only changed them to get an idea of the health of the engine since my warranty was up, but they work fine.

Caras, pero las mejores

fyi this is a single plug...the other q and a respondent is incorrect..one plug per purchase

Det påstås att av alla tändstift som säljes på nätet är 60% förfalskningar. Jag köpte dess från Amazon för att de säljes av Amazon och inte bara levereras av Amazon. Så man kan vara säkert på ursprunget. Alla gap var exact 1,1mm (0,044”) och alla hade en resistans av ca 4,8 kiloOhm (4-7 är korrekt värde) NGK iridium eller Denso iridium är tändstift som Mazda levererar sina bilar med. Mina tändstift var inte skadade men jag hade föredragit att Amazon skickade tändstiften i hård packet inte i stor kuvert. Overall nöjd.

純正並みで 掛かりも良くなりました。
