Federal-Mogul's new Champion Double Platinum Power™ spark plugs replace 'high-thread' OE design for superior durability and trouble-free service, the company says. These new one-piece, premium replacement spark plugs will help technicians and do-it-yourselfers eliminate a common-tune up challenge that affects more than four million passenger vehicles. "Champion spark plugs have helped millions of automotive professionals and everyday drivers achieve superior engine performance through the best possible tune-up. Now we're providing a new generation of innovative, performance-driven solutions for today's most advanced engines and ignition systems," says Michael Proud, Federal-Mogul global product director, Service Solutions. The new Champion Double Platinum Power spark plug uses a one-piece design that replaces the two-piece “high-thread” original equipment plug that was put into millions of Ford 4.6L, 5.4L and 6.8L engines. When servicing these engines, technicians are challenged, as the OE plug can separate during removal, potentially leaving the base trapped within the engine block. The new one-piece design solves this problem. In addition, to the problem-solving one-piece design, the new Champion Double Platinum Power plug features an extended ceramic post that virtually eliminates flashover, and an advanced J-gap configuration that is easier to set and which helps ensure more efficient firing performance. Like all premium Champion plugs, the new Double Platinum Power spark plug also features the brand's exclusive Heat-Active™ alloy, which enables the plug to more quickly reach and maintain the optimum temperature range. The new Champion Double Platinum Power spark plug is available immediately for the following applications: - Ford Expedition, 2005-08 (5.4L V8) |
