I couldn't agree more with you.Id go OEM. Its not like theyre that expensive and the labor is the more expensive part anyway so if youre doing yourself shouldnt break the bank.

Actually resister spark plug is the preferred plug for every vehicle. Its also a little more expensive than standard plug. In fact our owners manual also specifies PE5R-18-110, along with PE5S-18-110, as recommended spark plugs for SkyActiv-G.thanks for clarification Yrwei, it doesn't seem like we can buy the "S" version anywhere online though... when I Google only the "R" resistor version shows up....
PE5R-18-110, do you have any links to buy the "S" version that came with the CX-5 from the factory ?
Please make sure to take some comparison pictures between factory and new OEM plugs from different angles and tip area. A shot on new OEM package too and see if there's NGK's model # "ILKAR7L11" on it.LOL, local dealer wanted $32 a piece. Online it is...
Will do.Please make sure to take some comparison pictures between factory and new OEM plugs from different angles and tip area. A shot on new OEM package too and see if there's NGK's model # "ILKAR7L11" on it.
Actually I do believe NGK makes Mazda spark plugs. But we don't know if the specs are exactly the same between Mazda PE5R-18-110 and NGK ILKAR7L11. Based on huge price difference and OrangeVirus Tuning's comments, I do believe they're different. NGK ILKAR7L11 would still work but I believe it'd hurt some performance in certain conditions on SkyActiv-G without been able to serve as a "sensor".I wouldn’t be surprised if ngk is one of the OE suppliers
If you haven't, watch this just posted video by felixd which should help you replacing spark plugs. You only need to watch related portions of removing and installing the spark plugs if you're not interested in the entire process of cleaning carbon deposit on intake valves.Will do.
Well well looky here folks. OEM plugs ordered from Med Center Mazda at $25.82 a peice. It seems to possess the NGK model number too.Please make sure to take some comparison pictures between factory and new OEM plugs from different angles and tip area.

Well I guess adding "Mazda" and its part number "PE5R-18-110" on the ceramic insulator is pretty expensive! I imagine the "ILKAR7L11" wording is also on the package then? I may still get OEM plugs but I guess NGK ILKAR7L11 is the same plug.Well well looky here folks. OEM plugs ordered from Med Center Mazda at $25.82 a peice.

I'll check the box when I get back to it.Well I guess adding "Mazda" and its part number "PE5R-18-110" on the ceramic insulator is pretty expensive! I imagine the "ILKAR7L11" wording is also on the package then? I may still get OEM plugs but I guess NGK ILKAR7L11 is the same plug.
BTW, please take some comparison pictures between old and new too when you're at it.

It’s normal for manufacturers to have two suppliers for this kind of thing.
