Use standard type spark plug for normal condition.
The hot type spark plug is suitable when fouling may occur with the
standard type spark plug such as:
Ifrequent engine starts
Ilow ambient temperatures
The cold type spark plug is suitable when spark knock may occur
with the standard type spark plug such as:
Iextended highway driving
Ifrequent high engine revolution
