Spark Plug - DPR7 or DPR8

[dobro]

I have a 2011 Touring. One manual lists NGK DPR7EA9 and another lists DPR8EA9. Does it matter?

I would say one is a tad hotter than the other, but so close as to not make much difference. Heat ranges of spark plugs used to only matter in the seventies and earlier when engines would begin burning oil, and you picked a hotter plug so they would not oil foul as often as the stock plug was doing.

NGK DPR7 EA-9 is what's in the update kit.
The 8's were original in mine.

And the NGK website recommends the 7EA9 for both the Roadster and the Touring.
