TL;DR NGK's DILKAR7H11GS supersedes the discontinued DILKAR7G11GS, the iridium plug for the Honda Civic 2.0L and related Accord, CR-V, and Acura applications. Iridium center electrode, platinum ground, no published mileage rating for this part.
Iridium fine-wire center electrode with an undisclosed tip diameter, platinum-tipped ground, heat range 7, 14mm thread, 26.5mm reach, factory-set 1.1mm gap. Supersedes NGK's discontinued DILKAR7G11GS at the identical spec. Denso holds the Honda dealer part for this application (DXE22HQR-D11S); this plug is the community-confirmed cross-reference, not the dealer-stamped part. Documented fitment spans six Honda and Acura 2.0L and 2.4L engine families, all sharing this heat range and gap, and Civic owner forums confirm accurate fitment with no reported mismatches for any of them.
Right pick for a 2016-2022 Civic 2.0L, Accord 2.4L, CR-V 2.4L, or TLX/ILX 2.4L at Honda's 110,000-mile plug interval. Skip if your engine needs a different heat range or a double-platinum plug at a tighter gap.
No chemical exposure pathway: a passive ignition part with no SDS. The iridium tip carries a small precious-metal mass, offset by a longer service life than a copper plug. The steel shell recycles as scrap; the insulator lands in the trash, with no take-back program.
DILKAR7H11GS (NGK part 96964) is NGK's direct manufacturer supersession of the discontinued DILKAR7G11GS (NGK part 91578). Both share the same heat range 7, the same 14mm thread, the same 26.5mm reach, and the same 1.1mm factory gap, so they are interchangeable for the same applications.
This plug is documented for the 2016-2026 Honda Civic 2.0L (10th and 11th gen), 2013-2017 Honda Accord 2.4L, 2015-2019 Honda CR-V 2.4L, 2023-2024 Honda HR-V 2.0L, 2015-2020 Acura TLX 2.4L, and 2016-2022 Acura ILX 2.4L. Always confirm the correct part number against your specific year, trim, and engine before ordering.
For the Honda 2.0L and 2.4L applications this plug serves, Denso holds the dealer-channel part number (DXE22HQR-D11S). NGK's DILKAR7H11GS is the confirmed cross-reference equivalent to the same specification, not the dealer-stamped part, though NGK is a major original-equipment supplier for many other automakers.
NGK does not publish an explicit mileage rating for this specific part number. Honda's own maintenance schedule calls for spark plug replacement at 110,000 miles on the 2.0L engine this plug serves, which is a vehicle maintenance interval rather than an NGK-stated claim for the plug itself.
No. It ships with a factory gap of 1.1mm (0.043 in), matching the OEM specification for its listed Honda and Acura applications.
