Fitment Notes

• NGK 96509 corresponds to service number ILZKAR7E11S and Honda OE number 12290-5K0-A01.
• Fitment is engine-code specific; verify the exact engine and OE spark-plug number before ordering.
• Honda Accord coverage is limited to the 2.0L hybrid powertrain for the listed 2014-2017 range.
• Honda CR-V applications listed are limited to the specified 2.0L hybrid powertrains.
• Conventional 1.5L and 2.0L gasoline CR-V engines use different spark-plug specifications.
• 2026 Honda vehicle fitment is not confirmed for NGK 96509.
• Sold individually; four-cylinder applications require 4x plugs for a complete engine set.

Features

• NGK Laser Iridium spark plug engineered for OE applications.
• Fine-wire iridium center electrode provides high ignitability and wear resistance.
• Platinum ground-electrode tip helps reduce electrode wear.

Product Description

The NGK 96509 Laser Iridium spark plug, also identified as ILZKAR7E11S, is an OE-style replacement spark plug for selected Honda gasoline-hybrid powertrains. It uses a fine-wire iridium center electrode with a platinum-protected ground electrode to provide reliable ignition, consistent combustion, and extended electrode durability. The plug cross-references Honda OE number 12290-5K0-A01.

The 96509 features an M12 x 1.25 thread, 26.5 mm reach, 14 mm hex, flat gasket seat, NGK heat range 7, and a 1.1 mm pre-gap. Its 5 kOhm resistor helps suppress electrical interference, while the 98% pure copper core promotes efficient heat transfer. The high-grade ceramic insulator provides thermal and dielectric protection, and trivalent metal plating helps resist corrosion and thread seizure.

Verified applications include the 2.0L hybrid Honda Accord, CR-V hybrid, Clarity Plug-In Hybrid, Fit, and Stepwgn configurations listed above. Because several of these vehicles were also offered with different gasoline engines, the exact engine code and OE spark-plug specification should be confirmed before installation. The plug is sold individually.
