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.

It only takes one spark to light a fire....which means "is it worth it or does it matter" Just remember the first sentence.

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.

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.
