Spark plugs

Federal-Mogul has expanded its Champion Iridium automotive spark plug line to cover an additional 7.5 million late-model passenger vehicles. Champion Iridium plugs are now available for 97 percent of North American passenger cars, vans, light trucks and sport utility vehicles that were originally equipped with iridium technology.

Federal-Mogul’s latest expansion of the Champion Iridium line includes seven new part numbers that cover late-model Acura, BMW, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jeep, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Saturn, Suzuki and Volkswagen applications. Every Champion Iridium spark plug is engineered to meet application-specific operating requirements that match the original equipment iridium plug and provides long-lasting performance. The new plugs are available through any Champion spark plug distributor and are backed by the brand’s seven-year, unlimited mileage guarantee.
