TL;DR Aftermarket copper-core plug with E3's DiamondFIRE open-face ground electrode; heat range undisclosed, no OE-supplier provenance, and the 100,000-mile claim is inconsistent with copper-tier metallurgy without community removal-photo corroboration.
The E3.81 uses a copper center electrode with E3's DiamondFIRE open-face ground geometry, replacing the traditional J-wire with an open diamond secured by two legs to the shell. Thread spec is 12mm, 1.000-inch reach, gasket seat. Heat range is not disclosed; E3 is an aftermarket manufacturer, not an OE supplier for any major automaker. The manufacturer claims 100,000 miles or 5 years, inconsistent with the 20,000 to 30,000-mile industry standard for copper plugs, and no community removal photos at the claimed interval have been located. The community track record is still thin.
Listed for import engine applications using 12mm, 1.000-inch gasket-seat geometry; fitment accuracy is unconfirmed via community sources. Skip if your engine specifies platinum or iridium at the OEM interval, where a plug matched to OEM heat range from the OE supplier is the correct choice.
No chemical exposure pathway; ceramic insulator, steel shell, copper electrode, no SDS. Zero platinum-group metals, the lowest per-plug extraction footprint in the category. Steel shell is recyclable as ferrous scrap; alumina-ceramic insulator goes to landfill.
