As you know, spark plugs used in internal combustion engines are designed to ignite the air-fuel mixture. Naturally, for the normal operation of the engine, high-quality and serviceable spark plugs are required. Therefore, the appearance of problems with starting the engine, its unstable idling and increased fuel consumption indicate that it is time to change the candles.
Starting points when choosing a candle are two main points - geometric parameters and glow number. As for the first, it is simply impossible to screw a small candle into the engine, and if the length of the electrodes is longer than expected, this can lead to piston strikes on the electrodes and, as a result, engine failure. The glow number of a candle determines the thermal mode of its operation. The higher it is (“cold” candle), the higher temperatures it can work with. A candle that has a low value (“hot”) will overheat much faster. Therefore, when choosing a candle, you should firstjust carefully read the instructions for the car, which usually indicate interchangeable analogues.
One of the well-known world leaders in the production of automotive candles is the Japanese corporation Denso. Founded in 1949 after the Second World War, this company specializes in the production of electrical equipment (ignition systems, generators, starters, magnetos) as well as various components (compressors, oil filters, fuel pumps, radiators) not only for cars, but also for various household appliances. This manufacturer is known to the Russian consumer for producing its famous Denso spark plugs, reviews of which simply abound with positive ratings, indicating their really high reliability.
Denso produces three types of spark plugs - standard, as well as Iridium and Platinum. Denso spark plugs feature a unique negative electrode with a u-shaped cutout at the base, which improves engine performance, reduces carbon deposits, and increases fuel economy. In addition, Denso spark plugs provide smoother, smoother engine starts.
One of the latest developments is the Denso K20TT spark plug. Free of precious metals, with thin (only 1.5 mm) ground and center electrodes, it offers similar performance to iridium plugs, but at a much lower cost. This spark plug provides high igniting ability, reliable engine start in coldconditions, good throttle response and stable engine operation. The use of the Denso K20TT spark plug significantly reduces the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
Despite the fact that modern spark plugs have not undergone significant changes in recent years, Denso Corporation is constantly working to improve production technology using the latest achievements of science and technology according to the standards established since 1959. And the main standard, What distinguishes Denso spark plugs is their complete absence of defects.

Dielectric grease for spark plugs
Grease for candles is dielectric, i.e., non-conductive, designed to protect insulation from breakdown during vehicle operation. There are more than 400 contacts in a modern car. The operation of all electrical systems depends on their serviceability. All devices are consumers of current, which is transmitted to them from the battery and the generator through insulated wires
