I have an 02 175 hp Optimax OT567335 and trying to find the right plugs. I think I need PZFR5F but then some show 11 and some say Iridium and some say Platinum. Very confusing for my simple mind.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The -11 is for plugs that are pre-gapped to 1.1 mm. Pretty sure you need Iridium plugs.

I'll echo Don with one add, IZFR5G ONLY, gapped .032" - .033". All of this can be found the great FAQs at top of this and the 3L forum much of which applies to all Optimax engines regardless of displacement.Originally Posted by EuropeanAM

Thanks guys! I actually read the FAQs several times but for some reason I kept seeing or using a P instead of an I. Don't know whether to blame it on my eyesight or my reading comprehension.
