    Are these spark plugs interchangeable NGK ZFR5F vs ZFR5F-11

    2017 Mercury 115 Pro XS
    2B442155

    Preparing to do some Spring maintenance on my Mercury to include spark plugs. Manual calls for NGK ZFR5F gapped at .032".
    I keep seeing these NGK ZFR5F-11 referenced but don't know if they are just a newer, bigger better, improved plug or if they are a totally different application.
    What say the EXPERTS?

    Same plug, but the -11 is meant for a larger gap (.044").

    Personally, I would stick with the recommended plug (ZFR5F), or Mercury Part# 8M0057936.
