Description
The Denso PT16VR13 Double Platinum Spark Plug is a premium OE-style replacement spark plug engineered for dependable ignition performance, extended durability, and long service intervals. Built with platinum-tipped center and ground electrodes, it offers excellent resistance to erosion and corrosion, helping support service life in excess of 60,000 miles.
Designed for reliable daily driving and consistent combustion performance, this spark plug uses a fine-wire platinum center electrode and a standard platinum ground electrode to maintain stable spark delivery over time. Its machine-rolled threads help prevent seizing or cross-threading during installation and removal, while the purified alumina powder insulator provides exceptional strength and thermal conductivity. A five-rib insulator helps prevent flashover, and the copper-glass seal creates a gas-tight bond between the center electrode and insulator for long-lasting reliability.
The PT16VR13 is a strong replacement choice for a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, GM, Mazda, Mercury, Pontiac, Saturn, Saab, Suzuki, Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Hummer, Isuzu, and Oldsmobile applications.
