I'm new to Mini. I was looking to change my spark plugs on my 2012 Countryman S All4 (it has a Vip Airintake on it)(will add a JB+ soon). I looked a lot of auto parts stores near me, only 1 store carry Denso (5356) Iridium Power Spark that fit my car. I wonder should I go for it, is the Denso (5356) good or you guys have any other suggestion?

 

I have used NGK every time and they work perfectly. NGK ILZKBR7B8DG (aka NGK 95770)


Doesn't explicitly say it is compatible with the N18 engine but I found a different thread on NAM saying that the OP used it and was fine.

 

Thank you for replying. I was going to order NGK 95770. But because I'm gonna start my road trip very soon, so I end up bought the Denso 5356, maybe next time gonna use NGK. Never use Denso before, I wondering how is Denso quality?

 

Stock is BERU 12ZR6-SPP2 -1, just make sure they are not a wrong temp range for what you are doing, Denso made some good plugs for the Gen 1 MINIs.

 

I put the Denso one on my car, it was 22 heat range, and I realized my car going so show even I step the gas so deep, so I end up drive an hour to other town to buy what 3lusive suggest me, the NGK 95770, it is 7 heat range.

After i change the NGK and I start my road trip today, right now I drove over 200 miles already. Seems ok.

So now I am 7 heat range, but the OEM one is 6, I wondering the heat range different is it gonna have bad effect of the car? Even 1 temp range different?

 

OEM plugs unless you have mods that require changes.

 

Oem and then if you mod, like the tune = whatever the mod requires. If you run without the mods you could get CEL if the heat range is too far from stock. Run it for a while and then see if things are fine, if not go back to stock and then wait for the intake and tune.

 

Right now my car have a VIP air intake on it, do you think i can use heat range 7?
