So I am just shy of 30k on my base Giulia. I decided to replace the plugs and filters on my own. Anyone know where (other than the dealer) to get replacement or equivalent NGK IR ILZKR7G 7G plugs? I tried a few shops and nobody carried anything. Also, anyone know the gap recommendation?

I bought the gem plugs at my local Jeep dealer. I too am looking for the spark plug gap spec for the Giulia 2.0. Anyone have any luck finding it? Perhaps @ALFATECH could help?

I’ll check tomorrow.

Note we have one member suggesting the Champions are not a correct replacement, and run too hit. Your mileage may vary.

@LoCoRob The spark plug gap must be 0.60 - 0.65 mm, PLUG TORQUE IS 168 IN/LBS, BUT I JUST PUT THEM SNUG

Based on MOPAR part no. ALFATECH supplied in an earlier post.

There are probably other gems hidden on this site but it is impossible to use unless you already know the part number.

@Logan Rees, if-when you replace your spark plus, if you can, snap an image (and post it) of the old spark plugs. Also, please check the gap on the old plugs to see how much may have worn from the electrodes. Thanks,

It turns out they do have very basic tune-up parts (including spark plugs) listed in such a way that you do not need part numbers.

Thanks! That’s great info. Is there someplace we should post this as a “sticky” for others?

NP, not sure about a sticky though, I think I asked for some of my posts to be put as a sticky before but it never happened. I’m not sure how many moderators we have here, or how active they are on the forum.
There is another thread on spark plugs btw:

How many miles on those plugs?

Off a lot car, under 100 most likely.

 

[Alfissimo]

In stock. I have plenty more coming in. NGK ILZKR7G

Here are the plugs I got back from the 30k service actual mileage 28k. All still have the original 0.6mm gap, I have to say looking at these plugs I think they could safely do more miles. But how many more?

Considering Alfa changed the service interval to 60K miles, I'd say you could get around 32k more.

 

[Alfissimo]

I carry only the NGK plugs for both motors for the this reason. They last at least 60K miles.

When was this and where?

The service manual says 0.06 (no units provided), I presume that means 0.06cm. It also notes that the gap is not adjustable (?!) and is provided for use in assessing the condition of the spark plugs.

A pile of detritus (an oak leaf and some coarse fuzzy material) came out together with plug #4 in my car. At 30,000 miles the old plugs looked pretty much like new.

It is necessary to take the turbo bypass hose loose to get at plug #2.
