Default spark plug gapping???
I am changing my spark plugs and I trying to figure out what's the gapping. My spark plug is Bosch Platinum Plus. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I thought the platinums came preset.
You don't say what vehicle.
D1 & D90 - gap is 0.033-0.038"
DII 0.038 - 0.041"

look on the front of the engine bay on the radiator support. Along with the AC amount the spark gap is there.

Yeah most spark plugs come pre-set but its always a good idea to check in case they were dropped or squished.

Not to mention they come gapped to the most common applications they fit, which may or may not be the same as YOUR vehicle requires.
