Default NGK XR6 plugs vs NGK standard 6.

What is the difference here, are there any gains to be made by running the XR ones or not. I tried a search but NGK and plugs are too common so I had to start this thread, sorry.

Russ.

Problem is that they are both the same price.

The XR6 ones are also used in LPG equipped engines and have a longer projection. I doubt wether there is any gain to be had using them in anything else.

XR6 ZGR6B-11

I'd guess that the XR plugs are colder running ...
Meaning they can be used in hi power engines...
If drive like Miss Daisy then the std plugs are better...

I used the NGK super 4 plugs... performance isn't better but fuel economy and smoothness has improved.
