Spark plugs for 1991 Pathfinder SE

[JohnnyHaywire]

Howdy amigos,

 

Just a quick question about spark plugs for a '91 SE with the VG30E.

 

All three of my manuals say to use NGK BKR6EY. That appears to be a v-groove electrode plug, while the NGK site also recommends the BKR6ES, which is a flat electrode plug. Was the v-groove plug OEM spec on these engines?

Anyone have any preference between the two of these? I'm kind of traditional and tend to use flat electrode plugs on older cars but I'm open to trying something new (for me ; ).

 

Thanks in advance for any input.

NGK BKR6EY is indeed the correct plug to use for the VG30e.

the stock plug is not a v-groove, that much is for sure.

Well if anyone gonna know that answer to that one its gotta be Rob!! I for one, don't recall what I put in there last year when I bought my '90 but I don't tend to skimp on electrical bits. The one that are in there are working great as expected from either a Bosch or an NGK product. V or straight I wouldn't think would make much of a "on-the-street" difference on a low compression motor like ours. She's built to haul not to streak!!
