Heating rate explained
Owner's manual says 2 models can be used:
NGK and also DENSO DXU22HCR-D11S.
Looks like it is this sweety - tall, slim and thin
Set of 4 plugs cost below $40 on Internet. At Honda... no idea yet :-)
Honda part number is 12290-R41-L01 but it refers to DILZKR7A11GS, probably previous revision.
If I remember right, manual says replace each 90 or 105 Kkm. But I think that's a good idea. Dying plugs can destroy coils. I plan to replace (if car still be with me :-) at 60.
7,850 km | 0Y 5M
