{"product_id":"ngk-spark-plug-85","title":"NGK Laser Platinum Spark Plug PFR6T-10G for Saab 9-3 and 9-3X (2003–2011)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe NGK 5542 Laser Platinum spark plug, NGK designation PFR6T-10G, is a platinum-center ignition plug for the Saab 9-3 and 9-3X. It has an M14 x 1.25 thread with a 19 mm thread length and takes a 16 mm spanner. A platinum middle electrode fires across a single earthed electrode. A built-in 5 kOhm interference suppression resistor keeps ignition noise out of the vehicle electronics. The plug seals on a gasket seat and has a fixed SAE terminal that connects directly to the coil or plug lead. NGK makes it in Japan to OE quality, and it corresponds to Saab OE number 12787099.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis NGK spark plug carries a 24-month \/ 24,000-mile warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA spark plug lights the compressed air-fuel charge in each cylinder, so its thread, reach, and seat have to match the cylinder head exactly. To confirm you have the right plug, compare NGK 5542, the PFR6T-10G stamping, or OE number 12787099 against the plugs you remove. NGK specifies a spark position of 3.5 mm for this design. A plug with the right thread but a different reach or seat style can sit at the wrong depth in the head, so check all three measurements instead of relying on thread size alone. The gasket seat is part of the plug and gives a flat sealing face against the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: NGK, a brand of Niterra Co., Ltd., Nagoya, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNGK part number: 5542, designation PFR6T-10G (Laser Platinum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOE reference: 12787099\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread: M14 x 1.25, 19 mm thread length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpanner size: 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrodes: platinum middle electrode, one earthed electrode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterference suppression: 5 kOhm resistor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat: gasket seat; terminal: fixed SAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpark position: 3.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan, OE quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months \/ 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 and do not apply anti-seize.
