NGK (4363) PZFR5F-11 Laser Platinum Spark Plug, Pack of 1

For some reason, Amazon indicates that this sparkplug is not for the 2000 Honda Odyssey. It is the correct one for the Odyssey. I confirmed that it is the same plug from the user's manual and the actual plug in the engine.
After replacing the plugs, the van ran smoother and has a bit more power. I don't drive much and have about 72K miles on it but was over the 7 year period that the plugs should be changed. Changing the plugs made a big difference in performance and smoothness.

You should verify what is inside the box. Look at model # on the spark plug and the NGK website to make sure you received the correct spark plugs.

I've received 6 spark plugs today and 5 of the 6 are the wrong model. One is good as expected. The other 5 are cheap $3 plugs in NGK boxes with a printed label on them claiming they are PZFR5F-11. I am not sure who would put a wrong label and why ?? I never had any problems with Amazon. I can't tell if they came from a different vendor. Very pissed off.

My vehicle is a 1999 Honda Civic. I've also used NGK plugs on: 1988 Honda Accord, 1999 Subaru Forester, and a 2000 Toyota Sienna, with excellent results across the board.

I love working on cars, and spend a LOT of time reading blogs by mechanics, enthusiasts, etc. I've consistently read that NGK makes the best plug, especially for Japanese cars. You'd think that after a century, all plugs would be alike and they'd be a commodity product. Apparently not.

After installing this set of plugs, I ended up calling NGK with a technical question...buried in a PDF* rom NGK, which I accessed online, you're NOT supposed to apply anti-seize to most of their plug threads, as they already have a special coating from NGK. The two main problems are (a) over-torquing effect, and (2) too much anti-seize causing misfiring. The tech and I decided my applying only a little anti-seize and not going bonkers with tightening probably meant all was well. Things have been fine since I...Read more
