Any particular temperature plug run noticeably better than an another in these engines?
I have Champions now, but want to replace them with my upcoming rebuild.
Thanks for any info.
You can SEARCH the FULL NGK/NTK Catalog here (under QUICK PART FINDER).
You just can't go wrong with NGK Plugs.

IMHO, E3 Made in China plugs for $6.00 each....TONS of Marketing Hype... NO THANKS!

I have a like new set of E3 plugs sitting in my Land Rover parts bin in the garage. They didn’t last long (misfire codes) and I think I posted a review of them on here years ago. I have had my disco for 17 years and have almost 200k miles on it and I have tried every plug out there. I have found the Champion plugs that are called for are the best for longevity and reliability.

If new plugs seem to make the truck run better, most likely your old plugs needed replacing.

Just my opinion.

Edit: found my original post with champion part numbers from 2015. Still running the same plugs with no problems.

NGK's gave me poor performance and I finally replaced them with Bosch dbl plats. I will try champs next.

I'm certain the Bosch plugs needed to be replaced, or I wouldn't have been getting a misfire in the first place, since simply changing out the plugs fixed the issue. I hadn't really noticed the gradual loss in performance and the mileage decrease occurred about the same time I installed larger tires and a lift, so I sort of made the assumption that the decrease was due to the increase in unsprung weight and rolling resistance.

I was amazed when I installed the plugs how much of a difference it made. I'm sure that installing new plugs of any brand would have made a positive difference, and it is possible that a different brand might have made even more difference.

Just glad to be the recipient of increased low end torque and improved fuel economy with such a simple swap...
