PSA... I have an early NGK Ruthenium series of 4 videos here on YT, and if I've learned anything about these plugs, it's to keep the gap at factory spec if your engine is not modified. I also learned that since your engine will be peppier, you tend to use it, so your gas mileage tends to not be actual until you calm down and drive like grandma to get actual numbers. After all said and done, I got about 1mpg more than the stock Denso Dbl Platinums in my engine.
I love my NGK Ruthenium spark plugs and after 25,000 miles in my 2016 Mustang GT Premium manual is still running like the day I installed them so don’t listen to the bs reviews saying the Iridium’s are better.
I just installed these today in my 2003 Grand Cherokee 4.7 NON High Output and it’s amazing. Everyone says oh no stick to the copper core because the manufacturer recommends it 😑 just make sure they’re gapped correctly. All of mine were not gapped perfectly. Night and day difference for me. Smoother and more fuel efficient noticeably for me.
I have these plugs in my 2015 Volvo Xc60 3.0 turbo inline 6. I went 1 step cooler and it made a huge difference over stock heat range. Engine responsiveness has improved all the way to 6700 rpm.
Glad to know it wasn't just in my head. I put some ruthenium plugs in my Mazda 3s and thought the same thing. I've been running them for probably 2yrs or more. Still runs great. Never really noticed any change in fuel economy but they have lasted great
I love these! They have been out for several years. I put them in an 04 infiniti g35 back in 2017. It still runs great. Just recently put them in a 11 kia soul. They are well worth the money to me!
@@KarzKreated To be fair, I also replaced the coils and wires on both vehicles as well. They got new NGK everything and they've been pretty impressive to date since they've been in the g35 since Oct of 2017. No check engine light or missfires. Just still running strong!
Excellent review, I'm going to get these plugs. Changing the plugs in my 2020 Mustang Ecoboost is about all I'm able to do with my limited mechanical ability, so hopefully will see some improvement. Confused about the gapping, an online company sells these pre-gapped at 28 but too expensive with shipping so will buy them locally and figure out which gap to use.
Buy a spark plug gapper. It looks like a big coin with gap measurements. I'm sire there are plenty of youtube videos to show you how to do it. It's easy, just don't get too strong handed with it.
I installed on 14 kia soul. Factory gap at .040 had the engine running rough. Than gapped them at .038 and it idles better. Im thinking on shorting the gap to .030 and see if it idles better
How cool! I heard about Irridium plugs in a lady retracing Earharts final flight. I know nthing about Ruthenium plugs though. Hope they hold up for you! Im happy for you. Maybe youve stum bled onto something!
This particular spark plugs are a real product no jokes no games, to me personally are better than any other's models and brands, when you install this plugs feel the difference, but you need drive normal slow,in city or highway when you drive you see the differences between Iridium,Denso,Vpower or Copper, Only OEM feel same or similar, good video 👌🏽👌🏽👍🏾
Believe it or not the more gap the more horsepower. Of course there is a limit, but always use as much gap as possible. Most likely you could go with 40 thousandths gap without issue, and it would be another significant gain from what your experiencing now.
So with the NGK Laser iridium 92924 for my Honda 3.5L V6, they come preset with a 0.044" preset gap. And you don't change the Gap on those cause it will screw them up. Those Ruthenium plus look different though. So check if NGK says the gap is adjustable on the 95609 plugs. The Gap and the plug tip a engineered together for the optimal spark on these high igniteability plugs. Changing the preset gap may make them worse. They aren't your grand dad's copper Champion plugs where you can muck with the gap to your heart's content. Those of us who have been re-building engines since points ignition get how much less you need to do modern engines like this. Yes, I have a 66 F100 with original FE block engine and a 2017 F150 with 5.0 Coyote just for reference.
So is that why my engine was running rough when i gapped them .040 cuz it was recommended. Than i closed the gap to .038 ish and it runs better. Do you think i should close the gap to .030??
@@cameronmay843 These High Igniteability Plugs have a much hotter spark at a smaller gap than platinum and and copper plugs. The flash of the spark is what ignites the gasoline vapors and the recommended gaps are for the plugs the engineers specked for the engine from the factory. There is a tendency to over-gap these Iridium and Ruthenium plugs thinking it will make a bigger spark. But it probably reduces spark rather than improves it. Running too hot of spark can run the risk of piston damage if it's more than is needed for the best combustion in that cylinder with a given fuel ratio. And in modern EFI, the fuel ratio is always adjusting within a range anyway, unlike a carb. Where the choke is the only thing that can reduce air ratio to fuel. But the fuel ratio is fixed from the Venturi always.
@@austinfaith19 I actually never installed them in the 2017 F150 5.0. It didn't need plugs yet due to low miles. And I ended up selling it because we needed something different for the family.
Is it normal for spark plugs on the eco to get carbon on them in a short time ? I put these in and they are black and on the porcelain part there is some white chalk like substance, my car is stock but I do have MSD coil packs
@@KarzKreated I’ve read that the chalk like substance means it’s running too hot and these are a step colder so I was kind of concerned they are tightened down good too
@@KarzKreated I think the measurable difference is between old foiled spark plugs and new one… if I compare for example new iridium and new Ruthenium spark plugs there would be almost no difference
So I still use these plugs. I don't have any long term data because the first set I had was in the last engine that blew up. I replaced the engine and put a fresh set in. They still work great. At some point, I plan to make a comparison between a bunch of different plugs with time testing to n see if there's any difference.
Thank you! Unfortunately Amazon shows it's incompatible with my 2014 Ford Mustang v6 3.7. Do you think Amazon is wrong? I don't see any of these plugs for my car. Thank you so much.
I never had a chance to test performance. I had planned to so I could compare the data to prior tests. Unfortunately the engine in this car had an unscheduled disassembly that took many months to have fixed. I plan to test these against copper, and iridium plugs at some point to see if there is actually a measurable difference.
The Ruthenium plugs have been great so far. As stated in the video, the car feels punchier. One of the big ecoboost shops, Parker Performance swears by these plugs. I eventually plan to do a back to back comparison of copper, platinum, iridium, and ruthenium plugs from ngk 🙂
@Karz Kreated thanks, that would make a great video comparison. Keep up rhe great work. Btw; I'm not trying to be rude ir anything. I looked into this, and I read and was told it was to save gas, but there's nothing better than real world testing.

Bruh Gap your plugs to a 0.065 wtf?! Why so small? You won't get the bigger bang of a better air/fuel burn, how are you getting enough ignition with that tiny gap?

More gap equals more horsepower. At least until you hit the limit.

What are heat ranges for the spark plugs and why do you need "colder" ones? Would not "hotter" ones ignite the fuel better?
I think they are heat range 7. It's to reduce heat transfer and limit the possibility of detonation.
@@KarzKreated...What makes a spark plug colder? Can a spark plug be too cold for the engine and not function properly?
I have never experienced any plug failures in any vehicle with many different types of plugs.
Same. I'm scratching my head on how there is a substantial difference with plug material outside of durability.
NGK are the best spark plugs you can buy.
I may try those in my wifes ecoboost. Kinda spendy to put them in mine.
They're only like $8.50 each at RockAuto
I've heard stories of conterfeit spark plugs being sold on ebay and amazon. Maybe you got a set?

The gap is adjustable. You can adjust the gap on any plug technically speaking. You just run the risk of damaging the fine electrode tips.
