So they still use the 7's in europe.
But, it has been found that the 7's are often too cold for the US market. It might be because of differences in fuel. If there are too many deposits and they are dark, the bottom line is that the plug is too cold and a higher heat range is needed. Lab indications are great, but real life running conditions cannot be disputed.
Ones choice of plug for competion VS months of routine use on the street sould be different at well. I would not take much interest in what heat range was good for a 300HP Saab.
I found that Canadian fuels created more deposits and darkness than US fuels.
My US dealer switched me to 6's as a matter of course. He did not even ask about how the 7's were working out. Brad knows as much as anyone. They were in Saab packaging to.
