2019 Mazda CX-5 2.5L Turbo Spark Plugs Job Goes Awry. Wrong Plugs Listed Online & At Parts Store?

Hard to understand what happened in this era. I looked at Rock, Geek & AZon and they all called for an NGK 90288 (DILKAR7MB) Lazar Iridium sparking plug @ $22+- each or (Denso 3523). I had total faith after I went to the parts store and they verified my search and I bought 4 of these plugs and installed them. Instantly ran badly and CEL came on. I checked and checked and finally found that the OEM plugs were different being NGK LKAR7BGP @ $6+- each (Iridium is an option) at $28+-. I installed the exact part number plug, cleared the code and it's running great! I have found another false listing on Triumph TR3,4,4A 1991cc to 2138cc where Champion calls for L87Y and I learned that on my TR4A it was a much longer reach plug as I used N9Y N9YC and it ran better. Be very careful about this and measure the reach as it might be a case of the plug hitting the top of the piston! On this Mazda it was clearly a foul up on several listings so pull a plug, in any motor, and check it over and over to make triple dog sure you have the exact plug for your motor in reach, heat range, driving conditions etc. This is the key.

Please only do what I do at your own risk.

I have some information on Odysee too if you'd like to check that out and I also post these on Rumble and X.
