I ordered spark plugs from a dealer in CA, and they sent me ZFR5F-11. According to my owners manual that plug is for dx,lx, (canadian ex), I have a 95 Ex sedan and the owners manual says I need ZFR5J-11. The dealer is saying it's ok to use the 5F-11, has anyone used this plug and will it hurt anything.

By the way I have a 95 civic ex 4dr.

 

Make your life easier buy not paying the ridiculous amounts of money the dealer has charged you for spark plugs.

The plugs you ordered are likely equivalent to the $3 NGK copper plugs available at Auto Zone.

 

I bought a tune up kit from the dealer the spark plugs were included.

 

How much did that cost you?

Regardless, any plug for a 16 valve honda motor will work for your car. Don't stress.

 

It was 93 dollars, that included plugs, wires, cap, and rotor.

 

Based on the owner's manual from American Honda, it list ZFR5F-11 for normal driving:

You could have bought the same parts for about $80 from this website and the parts are the exact same if not better. Come to think of it, it would have been cheaper because the plugs I included in the price are Iridium and you don't need those.

 

I have a usdm ex not canadian ex
