Description
The Denso QJ16HR-U Nickel U-Groove Spark Plug is a reliable OE-style replacement spark plug engineered to support efficient combustion, stable ignition performance, and consistent drivability. Its U-groove ground electrode is designed to give the flame a larger area to develop, helping reduce flame dissipation and promote a broader flame front for more complete combustion. This can help support improved throttle response and fuel efficiency in properly maintained engines.
Built with Denso’s precision manufacturing standards, this plug features machine-rolled threads to help prevent seizing or cross-threading during installation and removal. The purified alumina insulator provides excellent strength and thermal conductivity, while the five-rib insulator helps resist flashover. A copper-glass seal bonds the center electrode and insulator for a gas-tight seal, helping ensure long-term durability and reliable ignition performance across a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Eagle, American Motors, and Plymouth applications.
