{"product_id":"ngk-spark-plug-34","title":"NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plug DILFR7B10G for Saab 9-3 (2008–2009) and 9-5 (2010–2011)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt around an iridium center electrode, the NGK 97218 Laser Iridium spark plug (designation DILFR7B10G) fires the cylinders on the Saab 9-3 and 9-5 models in the fitment table below. It has an M14 x 1.25 thread with a long 26.5 mm thread length and takes a 16 mm spanner. A single ground electrode sits opposite the iridium tip, and the spark position is 3.5 mm. The internal 5 kOhm resistor handles interference suppression. The plug seals on a gasket seat and has a fixed SAE connector on top. NGK manufactures it in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spark plug carries a 24-month, 24,000-mile warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo details separate this plug from shorter M14 plugs: the 26.5 mm thread length and the 5 kOhm resistor, which is a higher value than many platinum plugs use. A plug with the right thread but a shorter reach will not sit correctly in the combustion chamber, so compare thread length when checking against the plug you remove. The 97218 cross-references to OE numbers 55 564 748 and 12 14 065. The spark plug is the last link in the ignition chain, carrying coil voltage across its gap to light the mixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: NGK, a brand of Niterra Co., Ltd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNGK part number: 97218\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNGK designation: Laser Iridium DILFR7B10G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread: M14 x 1.25, 26.5 mm thread length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpanner size: 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrodes: iridium center electrode, one ground electrode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterference suppression: 5 kOhm resistor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpark position: 3.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGasket seat, fixed SAE connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-references: 55 564 748 and 12 14 065\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months or 24,000 miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Tuning Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall this plug with clean, dry threads.
