One may also ask, what is RC12YC in NGK?

The NGK I stock as an equivalent to the RC12YC is the BCP(R)5ES (6130).

Regarding this, is the RC12YC the same as the QC12YC spark plug? From what I can find the two plugs have the same heat range so are interchangeable without any difference in mechanical engine performance. BUT if you have a fuel injected engine you should use the QC plug. It's internal electrical construction is different to work properly with fuel injection systems.

Beside above, can I use RC14YC instead of RC12YC?

EITHER RC12YC or RC14YC will work. But for best results use NGK BKR5E or BKR6E. They last longer and are less prone to fouling.

Can you clean a spark plug with wd40?

WD-40 removes carbon residue and keeps moisture away from spark plugs and spark plug wires. WD stands for Water Displacement, so if your spark plugs are wet or you need to drive moisture away from ignition distributors, for example, WD-40 is a product you should have handy!

What happens if the spark plug gap is wrong?

If the spark plug gap is incorrectly set, it can lead to engine issues. The customer may experience loss of power, misfires, spark plug fouling, increased plug wear, or poor gas mileage.

What can I use to clean my spark plugs?
