Hello everyone, I juz bought a second hand pica one month ago. This is my first car and I have a lot to learn fro myou guys. I have been looking through this forum and gain a lot of knowledge here. Thanks everyone for the input. I have a question I will like to ask you all. Last Friday, i went to mx tradings to buy Amsoil engine oil and spark plug. The spark plug which i buy is NGK platinum BKR6EGP. On Sat, I went for my first servicing after taking over the veh. Went over to Huat Lee recomended from the forum. The guy took out my old spark plug which is NGK heat range 6 model. He told me this is not the correct spark plug because heat range is too high and F.C. may suffer. As my newly bought spark plug is NGK platinum BKR6EGP, which is also heat range 6, the guy told me not to change. He will recommend heat range 5 spark plug, which will be either NGK platinum BKR5EGP or IK16 for Denso Iridium.I called to MXtradings on the spot regarding this issue and they told me according to the recomended chart from NGK supplier shows that picanto should use BKR6EGP, but they dun mind letting me exchange to BKR6EGP. So right now I'm confused over what is the correct spark plug to use? Heat range 5 (i.e. BKR5EGP, IK16) or Heat range 6 (i.e. BKR6EGP, IK20)? What is the difference between using these two for my picanto? Btw, I'm driving a l/v pica. Manufactured in '06. Can anyone kindly help me out and enlighten me? Thanks in advance

Hmm... does that mean that both can be used?
Is that a difference in F.C?

it only affects the self cleaning temperature. meaning if your engine temperature is not high enough but u use cold plugs, then the plugs may foul easily.

Both 5 and 6 can be use without any problem. The recommended plug is 5. 6 is colder plug meaning that it disipate heat faster then the 5 range. Good for long distance.
