So I'm changing the plugs in a 2014 accord ex-L 2.4 non PZEV engine (car was bought new in TN so I assume its non PZEV?)

In my research I've found four different plugs for it:

NGK: ILZKR7B-11S
Denso: SXU22HCR11S
Denso: DXE22HQR-D11S
PZEV
NGK: DILZKR7A11GS

I bought the Denso SXU22HCR11S but I'm 2nd guessing myself if they are right??


I just found this online so I think the plugs I bought are ok.

I believe NGK is the preferred spark plug for most Accord owners.

Either NGK or Denso will be fine. Denso's might be the factory installed plugs but I'm not 100% on that.

I would stick to the plugs you bought. As you stated, where you live I don't believe it is a PZEV model (usually you find those here in Cali). NGK or Denso will work. Yes, most people use NGK for plugs but Denso makes high-quality products.

I would use the plugs you bought.

Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback.

There are two plug types for NGK based on the emissions package (PZEV). Either will work, but I chose based on my VIN.

My video on replacement with the plugs I used has the same chart you linked above:

Why don't you just match what you pulled out and do 1 for 1 swap.

It's one way to find the matching part#, but not practical; unless you are taking one out in front of the parts store, and plan changing it out right on the spot. but, agreed if he already has them in hand, pull one out and compare.

This is my GF's car, I didn't have access to it when I bought the plugs. The one's I bought are in the manual I found online for her car and should be just fine.

Can't go wrong with recommended parts from different manufacturers. It would come down to personal preference or someones opinion of the brand, or just match what the manufacturer installed at the time what they had in stock.

Well the plugs I bought were different, they didn't have the dual tips I guess you would call it. And they were about 3mm longer. I didn't use them.

The stock plugs in her car where the Denso DXE22HQR-D11S

My 03 V6 came with Denso plugs from the factory. I replaced them with NGK at about 90k miles, and the engine didn't seem to run any different with the brand new NGK, than it did with the old Denso plugs. They are both good. I've found that these companies make a lot of different (cheaper) plugs that will fit your engine, but are not necessarily the exact same plug as OEM (most will not say "long life iridium"). If you want the OEM plug make sure the numbers match. I made sure, by buying the plugs from a dealership.
