Default E3 spark plugs?
What do y'all think? I need to do a 75k mile service and was recommended these spark plugs They say they don't need to be gaped and I don't see how they would based on their design.

LMAO at first fucking review!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't put in Mazda 2.3 turbo engines - Mazdaspeed & CX7, June 27, 2010

This review is from: E3 Spark Plugs E3.66 Automotive Spark Plug, Pack of 1 (Automotive)
Yes, they will fit but they don't work correctly. Engine seems fine at idle and light load, but under acceleration the engine will miss & sputter. Also caused RFI with my radio, and funny enough made the laser warning on my radar detector go nuts.

It's better stick with the NGK or Denso Iridiums that are designed for the MZR engine.

Why not do some *real* research on your own. There's an entire spark plug database on MSF, and it will tell you what your car needs as far as spark plug gap-size, and what options exist.

These E3 tri-post plugs are snake-oil as far as the DISI is concerned.

The gap is huge (nearly double the OEM gap), and just because there are more posts doesn't mean that the spark will have to be any weaker to make the jump from the electrode to the post. These plugs will strain your car's ignition system, potentially damage your engine, and do jack-shit for your fuel economy and performance (other than decrease them).
