From the Manufacturer
The Autolite XP Xtreme Performance spark plug product line consists of some of the most technologically advanced spark plugs ever. Featuring an iridium-enhanced .6 mm finewire center electrode design, coupled with proprietary platinum sidewire electrode technology, these spark plugs provide better durability and a more focused ignition for better overall ignitability, with the result being increased performance and horsepower, as well as better fuel economy over the lifetime of the spark plug. Upgrade to the Power and Performance of Iridium Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are upgrading to finewire spark plugs, so why aren’t you? Finewire spark plugs feature dramatically improved performance over standard plugs by way of their slimmer center electrodes forged of exotic metals. The smaller the center electrode, the less voltage is required to produce a spark capable of jumping the gap to the opposing side electrode. This means fewer misfires of the electrode, which ideally equates to fewer opportunities for abnormal and incomplete combustion events (preignition) in the cylinder. Limiting these types of events ensures more complete burning of fuel resulting in higher mileage, more horsepower and less potential for carbon buildup within the cylinder. Spark plugs in the Autolite XP Xtreme Performance product line feature a .6mm finewire center electrode made of iridium, coupled with a patented platinum sidewire electrode at the far end of the plug. Many times stronger and harder than platinum, iridium has an extremely high melting point which makes it both an excellent conductor, choice for use in finewire electrode construction, and contributes to XP series' extreme durability. Together these two electrodes produce advantages rarely seen in a plug this affordable, including: virtually no gap erosion, longer life and top fuel efficiency over the life of the plug. Additional features of note include: multi-rib ceramic insulator to help prevent misfires and provide better insulation, a significantly larger flame kernel when compared to a standard plug and a five-year limited warranty. Standard Features: - Iridium-enhanced center electrode for improved durability and wear resistance.

Product Description
Autolite XP Xtreme Performance spark plugs are one of the brand's most technologically advanced spark plugs. Consumers get the benefits of patented platinum sidewire technology for improved durability and longer life, along with an iridium-enhanced .6mm finewire design for improved ignitability. Independent lab tests show that Autolite XP Xtreme Performance spark plugs provide better overall ignitability and durability than many other premium spark plugs. By increasing the size of the flame kernel (a 21 percent bigger flame compared to standard sparkplugs), these Autolite spark plugs ignite more gas and air mixture inside the cylinders to deliver better overall ignition. The ignition is more focused, which provides faster fuel combustion, optimizing the vehicle's spark plug performance. In addition, the Autolite XP Xtreme Performance spark plug offers drivers the same durability as the Autolite Double Platinum sparkplug ¿ virtually no gap erosion, longer life, and top fuel efficiency over the life of the plug. Autolite XP Xtreme Performance sparkplugs can be used in nearly 90 percent of passenger cars and light duty trucks on the road today.
