This is a great question! The spark plug thread size on most vehicles is 14mm, but you’ll need to check your owner’s manual to confirm.
The thread size is what screw the spark plugs into the cylinder head. When you see a set of numbers (like 14x1), the first number is the diameter and the second number is the pitch, or distance between each thread. It’s measured in millimeters.
Check your owner’s manual to find the specific measurement before you go shopping—or just let a
