CarCareTruth's Analysis

Last reviewed May 28, 2026

TL;DR NGK is the OE supplier for Mazda L-series engines; this iridium plug is rated 100,000 miles, community-confirmed on Mazda applications, and arrives pre-gapped. Does not fit Coyote V8 engines.

What it is and how it performs

The ITR6F13 uses a laser-welded iridium center electrode and platinum-tipped ground electrode, with trivalent metal plating on threads for corrosion resistance. NGK is the OE supplier for the Mazda L-series family (OEM cross-refs L341-18-110, L3Y4-18-110, L813-18-110 confirmed). Heat range 6 is confirmed via NGK part-number convention (R6 in ITR6F13). Rated 100,000 miles; a verified-purchase reviewer replaced at 100,000 km on a Mazda MX-5 NC without issues. Center electrode tip diameter is not disclosed. Plugs arrive pre-gapped per multiple verified-purchase reports.

Who should buy this — and who should skip it

Right pick for Mazda L-series 2.0/2.3L engines (Mazda 3, 5, 6, MPV), Ford Focus/C-Max 1.8/2.0L, or Volvo S40/V50 where the workshop manual specifies this plug. Skip for any Coyote V8; thread reach and heat range do not match.

Safety and environmental impact

No chemical exposure pathway from the plug itself. Steel shell is recyclable as ferrous scrap; ceramic insulator goes to landfill. No take-back program exists as of 2026.

From the manufacturer

  • Laser welded iridium center electrode tip ensures high durability and greater spark
  • Platinum disc welded to backside of ground electrode provides long life
  • Longer insulator nose prevents fouling, corrugated ribs on insulator prevents flashover, and the triple gasket seal eliminates combustion gas leakage
  • Faster starts and quicker acceleration
  • Better fuel economy and lower emissions, trivalent metal plating for superior anti-corrosion and anti-seizing
