spark plug help

Hey Guys,

going to get my spark plugs changed and am planning on getting the Bosch FR6's however was wondering, is it the FR6 LDC or FR6 DLU or DCX or are they all the same?- any detailed help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

FR6LDC. I bought them from http://www.autohausaz.com/search/pro...2@Spark%20Plug

I also bought a carbon microfilter and some other misc. stuff to get free shipping from them.

M3CAB also gave me the link, and I bought 6 spark plugs, the carbon cabin filter and an 85 cent bolt to make an even $50 for the free shipping. Even I could replace the cabin pollen filter myself! Thanks again to M3CAB.

thanks for the speedy reply, but one more question, is there any difference between the LDC, DLU or DCX? The reason I ask is that the local Kragen only has the FR6 DCX. Any issue?

Thanks

They are different. The turbo plug is unique.

FR6LDC, is a single electrode, the FR6DTC is a triple electrode.

Do they have to be gapped or are they good out of the box?

Just eyeball the gaps to make sure one side didn't get closed from dropping it or something. The side gap electrodes are so thick they're near impossible to adjust. I got a set shipped from Sunset, that were in the same box with brake pads, that got damaged in shipment.
