   Almost any 5/8" spark plug will fit. Doesn't mean it's the right spark   
   plug for your car in your environment.   
      
   Every size of spark plugs comes in a multiplicity of heat ranges.   
   Plugs too cold ---> fouled cruddy plugs, incomplete combustion.   
   Plugs too hot  ---> burned electrodes, burned valves, piston damage.   
      
   The first thing you should have done was read your owner's manual and   
   see what the mfr recommends for your climate. Manuals are available   
   online.   
      
   RTFM before asking the ignoratti. I can't believe no one gave you a   
   sensible answer.
