CarCareTruth's Analysis

Last reviewed May 27, 2026

TL;DR NGK is the OE supplier for Subaru EJ255/EJ257 engines; this iridium plug cross-references dealer parts 22401AA670 and 22401AA720, ships pre-gapped to 1.1mm, and is rated 100,000 miles.

What it is and how it performs

Iridium center electrode with platinum-tipped ground and a silver-alloy laser weld (SILFR designation). Heat range 6, M14×1.25 thread, 26.5mm reach, gasket seat, factory gap 1.1mm matching Subaru OEM spec for the EJ255 and EJ257. NGK supplies this plug to Subaru dealer channels as 22401AA670 and 22401AA720, covering WRX, STI, Legacy GT, Outback XT, and Forester XT from 2004 to 2014. Center electrode tip diameter is not disclosed in the product listing. Community reports no heat-range complaints on any listed application; gap is confirmed factory pre-set.

Who should buy this — and who should skip it

Right pick for a 2004-2014 Subaru EJ255 or EJ257 on a 100,000-mile interval; OEM provenance and dealer-PN cross-reference confirmed. Skip if the engine needs a colder heat range or tighter gap for high-boost operation.

Safety and environmental impact

No chemical exposure from the plug itself. Iridium and platinum tips carry small precious-metal mass per plug, partially offset by the long service interval. Steel shell is recyclable as ferrous scrap; the alumina-ceramic insulator goes to landfill.
