To distinguish between real and fake spark plugs, consumers can look at the following basic characteristics:
1. Porcelain legs: Real spark plugs will have a beautiful glossy porcelain color; the brand name and product code name are clear, the position is exactly right in the middle. (Example: NGK – C5HSA)
2. Washer part: Real spark plugs are difficult to remove, while fake spark plugs are easy to remove from spark plugs.
3. Metal section: The metal hexagonal part of the spark plug is shiny due to being plated and engraved with 4 special characters. False spark plugs are not plated, may have scratches from being cut by a machine, do not have 4 special characters or are difficult to see.
And there are many in-depth ways to check for real and fake spark plugs that, within the narrow scope of this article, we cannot fully provide.

Diesel engines work by compressing the fuel mixture under such great pressure that it ignites automatically. By not using sparks, diesel engines need a large compression ratio to push the temperature up. This ratio sometimes reaches 20:1 while the average gasoline engine only needs 9.5:1.
A spark plug must release some of the heat generated by the combustible gas. The heat index is the parameter that indicates the amount of heat released.
When used for a long time, it will often experience some conditions such as soot, overheating,... These phenomena make the car difficult to operate and quickly fail the engine.
