TL;DR Bosch's 0242140565 (VAR6NIP / 8505 EVO) is a genuine Bosch iridium plug cross-referenced to the Honda 12290-6A0-A01 dealer part the CR-V 1.5T specifies. No explicit mileage rating, and no community data yet.
Fine-wire iridium center electrode (0.8mm tip) with an iridium-platinum ground, Bosch heat range 6, 12mm thread, 26.5mm reach, 0.7mm gap. Bosch is not Honda's OE dealer-channel supplier here (NGK holds that role); this cross-reference is confirmed by two independent sources: this ASIN's own Amazon OEM-equivalent data naming Honda 12290-6A0-A01 directly, and a separate third-party cross-reference database. Fitment covers the CR-V's 1.5T L15BE engine for 2023-2026. No explicit service-life mileage is stated, only generic boilerplate, weaker than NGK's stated 100,000 miles.
Consider this for a lower-priced iridium alternative to the genuine NGK dealer part, if an aftermarket cross-reference without community confirmation is acceptable. Skip if you want the confirmed OE dealer-channel part or an explicit mileage rating; the NGK DILKAR8P8SY is the tighter match on both.
No chemical exposure pathway: a passive part with no SDS. Iridium-platinum electrodes with no stated interval, so consumption offset versus copper is unconfirmed. The steel shell recycles as scrap; the ceramic insulator lands in the trash, with no take-back program.
It is a genuine Bosch-manufactured plug (Bosch part 0242140565, retail designation VAR6NIP), not the NGK DILKAR8P8SY that Honda's dealer channel supplies. Bosch's own catalog data cross-references it to the same Honda dealer part number, 12290-6A0-A01, but it is a different manufacturer's own product, not a resale of the NGK plug.
Bosch's own catalog data and an independent cross-reference database both name Honda dealer part 12290-6A0-A01 as an OEM equivalent, which covers the 6th-generation Honda CR-V's 1.5T (L15BE) engine for 2023-2026. Always confirm the correct part number against your specific year, trim, and engine before ordering.
NGK is Honda's actual OE dealer-channel supplier for this application; this Bosch plug is an aftermarket cross-reference, not OE-confirmed fitment. Bosch also does not publish an explicit mileage interval for this part, while NGK's own spec page states 100,000 miles.
Bosch's own heat range 6 with a factory-set gap of 0.7mm, per independent retailer spec pages. Bosch's heat range numbering is not directly comparable to NGK's numbering system.
Bosch does not publish an explicit mileage interval for this part; the listing only states that service life follows the vehicle manufacturer's requirement, which is not a specific number.
Marketing copy from Bosch, via Amazon. Not editorial.
Per manufacturer cross-reference, not a physical test fit. A single generation often forks by engine, trim, and market.
Check this against your owner's manual before you buy
⚠ CR-V 6th gen: the 1.5T (L15BE) gas engine only. The CR-V Hybrid's 2.0L (LFC3) engine uses a different NGK plug, DILZKAR7G11Y (Honda dealer part 12290-6MA-J01); this Bosch cross-reference was not verified against that application. Confirm your CR-V's powertrain before ordering.
