It's a pinned post that people with queries about spark-plug types and gaps can consult without having to start fresh threads each time.

I know but it doesnt mean anything to me. How do i know which ones to use?

The first five letters/numbers ("B205E", etc.) refer to the engine type of your 9-5. B205 is 2.0 litre; B235 is 2.3 litre; B308 is 3.0 litre v6. M** is model year. "R" suffix is Aero HOT.

If you use the VIN decoder it will tell you which engine you have

Thats what i mean. I dont have any of the ones listed. I have the B235R 260HP

All B235Rs use the same plugs.

Tuned Aeros (2.3HOT, B235R) - NGK BCPR7ES-11. Change the set when you change the oil+filter.

Price and heat dissipation ability.

SwansSaab · 06 November 2011, 03:31:05 PM

Just looked at NGK website and they say for 2002 9-5 aero hot the spark plug is BCPR6EIX-11 ??

Is this a better plug for me to fit rather than the BCPR7ES-11

mine is Hirsched 280BHP

Audax · 06 November 2011, 03:42:28 PM

Don't know which bit of their site you're looking at but their pdf catalogue says PFR6H-10 for the 9-5 Aero which is what Saab say too so I'd use them *unless* Hirsch say to use a different plug.

SwansSaab · 06 November 2011, 03:46:02 PM

Looking at their partfinder section .. states the model number you just posted but then as an upgrade the BCPR6EIX-11 number, just had a look and its basically an Iridium plug .. think they use them on the 3.0l V6`s but they are £60

Ive just ordered the 7es-11`s from ebay for £8 as someone on this thread said they where for the Aero HOTs .. I hope they are right
