Spark Plugs
3.0 L VIN U
Type AWSF-32PP
Note: Three different styles of platinum-enhanced spark plugs are produced for the 3.0L engine. Each spark plug has a different part number and use. AWSF-32P spark plugs have a platinum-enhanced center electrode and are used in cylinders 4, 5 and 6. AWSF-32-PG spark plugs have a platinum-enhanced ground (side) electrode and are used in cylinders 1, 2 and 3. If any spark plug is removed and reinstalled, it MUST be installed in the same cylinder from which it was removed. If any spark plug is replaced, use only spark plugs with a part number AWSF-32PP as listed on the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label. This replacement spark plug has double-platinum enhancement on both the center and ground electrode and may be used in all six cylinders.
