Can anyone identify the real one?

[Aaronlkl]

There are lotsa fake spark plugs out there. My friend bought a set on Denso Iridium power IK22 each from 2 different dealers. To his surprise, the packaging and spark plugs itself are different. Can anyone identify the real one?

first pic btm is real. IK22 is bronze color head. For the 2nd pic, I remember there are a line of the small print on top of the "IRIDIUM POWER", like the one of the right box. Not too sure if got other packaging that is without the small print. (sometime could be due to different packaging for different country)

check the head, i think should by silver not copper colour.

with so many "replicas" lying around, does the workshop knows that it is a fake? when they purchase from their sources?

No idea. Still waiting for their reply.

The problem now is both shop claim that their product is genuine. Some shops out there sell fake products as genunie.

Are they from boleh land? I saw a rm tag there!

Bought my first set of ND Iridium spark plugs in 2006, engine started to misfire a few hundreds km after the spark plug installation.

 

The plugs were fouled and the centre electrode melts to a mushroom shape.

 

Suspect bought fake plugs. Since then I only use spark plugs bought from AD, so far so good and cheaper too.

 

 

Besides spark plugs, there are fake coolant, filters, engine oil, battery etc out there...

pls keep us posted when Denso replies. Also curious to know which is the real and fake one
