Compatibility?: NGK Iridium IX LTR7IX-11 spark plugs (6510)

[gorilla1969]

I'm having a 'box' tune done by Unleashed Tuning using a SCT module on my 2019 Fusion 2.0L Ecoboost and the recommended spark plugs by the tuner are spark plugs are NGK Iridium IX LTR7IX-11 spark plugs with a 0.28" gap.  The cross reference guides I've found online don't mention my year/model as being compatible with this plug.  

 

Does anybody know if this plug is okay to use with my vehicle?  I wanted to ask - better safe than sorry.

 

Please let me know your thoughts and thanks.

Gorilla; This is Bop here. Newer member. Older guy.  I used to have the NGK problem. They worked in several of my vehicles for years. One such is a mildly built 350 Chevy in my 70 Pickup. Only 3,000 miles on it. It developed a miss. I say what the hell. Wires new. New HEI . A friend of mine that owns a shop said get them out of there. He has solved more intermittent misses but pulling NGK'S OUT Ford Chevy what ever. . I wouldn't have believed it. I pulled them out and installed Dinso's and the miss cleared up completely.  I here noways Champions are good. They used to be junk. What about Autolite? NGK'S was just my experience. Not trying to sell anything to anyone.

 

                                                                                                    Good Luck, Bop

I can't say how the NGKs would work with a tune, but years of hanging around here has shown that some members have had issues with them.  It's generally best to stick with Motorcraft plugs in Fusions.

Thanks everyone for you input.  I spoke to the tuner company and they verified that the spark plug model number was correct.  They said it's a slightly 'colder' plug which is more ideal for their tune.  I'll give it a try and can always switch to Motorcraft, Champion, or another brand if I don't like how they function. Thanks again.
