TL;DR Aftermarket iridium plug with 0.6mm finewire center electrode and platinum-protected V-trimmed ground, rated 100,000 miles. Community reports note ground-electrode burnoff below the rated interval and a thread mismatch on a Jetta 1.4T.
The XP3923 has a 0.6mm finewire iridium center electrode and platinum-protected V-trimmed ground. Autolite is an aftermarket cross-reference manufacturer, not the OE supplier for these applications. Heat range is not disclosed, making OEM-manual verification difficult. Factory gap is 0.5mm. Community reports note ground-electrode burnoff below the 100,000-mile rated interval, and a wrong thread size on a Jetta 1.4T listed by Amazon's fitment checker as compatible.
Reasonable where Autolite's cross-reference confirms this plug and no community fitment issues exist. Skip for Jetta 1.4T (documented thread mismatch) and where confirmed long-interval electrode performance is required.
Ceramic insulator, steel shell, iridium and platinum electrodes; no chemical exposure pathway from the plug. Shell is recyclable as ferrous scrap; the ceramic insulator goes to landfill. No manufacturer take-back program exists.
Owners report the XP3923 is the wrong thread size for the Jetta 1.4T, despite the Amazon fitment checker indicating compatibility, leaving them unable to install the plug and buying replacements from a local parts store. Verify fitment directly against the Jetta 1.4T service manual or with an Autolite dealer cross-reference before ordering.
Autolite rates the XP3923 for up to 100,000 miles depending on engine type, which is the manufacturer's claim. Community removal-photo data confirming acceptable electrode condition at the full rated interval has not been located.
The product specification row lists 0.5 millimeters (approximately 0.020 inches) as the gap size. Checking the gap before installation is advisable.
The Amazon listing for Autolite Iridium XP XP3923 Spark Plug carries a California Prop 65 warning. California requires this warning on a very wide range of manufactured goods — including rubber, vinyl, plastic, and metal automotive parts — whenever trace exposure to any of roughly 900 listed substances (commonly phthalates or heavy metals) is possible, regardless of whether the specific product poses a meaningful health risk. As a passive accessory, Autolite Iridium XP XP3923 Spark Plug has no Safety Data Sheet, so there's no chemistry breakdown to translate beyond that.
