TORCH QH6RIU-11 — Ford cross-references. TORCH QH6RIU-11 iridium plugs also serve as replacements for several Ford part numbers: 41-988, 12565996, 12622561, 41-109, 1787829, 4M5G12405AA, L3BD-18-110, and L3YD18110. Available on AliExpress for 1,343 RUB (RU market, Jan 2025) with a 30% discount. Users report reliable performance: 5,000+ km and 30+ days of continuous operation without issues^11121314.

Additional verified options — Torch and AliExpress iridium double plugs. (1) Torch brand — standard choice, confirmed working by multiple owners. (2) AliExpress iridium "double" spark plugs (2,899 RUB, RU market, February 2025) — one user reported 15,000 km of operation with no issues after roughly one year of use. Both options are reported reliable^151617181920.

Miles ALSP067 — restated with pricing and a plug-count caution. A separate discussion reconfirms Miles ALSP067 iridium plugs as a recommended replacement, priced around 3,104 RUB (with an Ozon card discount, RU market, 2025); one owner reported 5,000 km trouble-free running on this set. The source specifically warns against buying a 4-plug set (e.g. TORCH QH5RIU-M3, shown for comparison in the same listing) by mistake — double-check the plug count needed before ordering^212223242526.

TORCH QH5RIU-13 restated with dimensions and long-term result. TORCH iridium plugs model QH5RIU-13 (analog to ILTR5A-13G) are confirmed compatible: M14x1.25 thread, 25mm reach. Rated good quality by the community and available on Ozon²⁷²⁸²⁹. A separate long-term report: changed at 80,000 km, still performing well at 130,000 km (the original factory plugs had lasted to 80,000 km). Warning: many iridium plugs on the market are counterfeit even at low prices — verify quality before buying; over-tightening during installation can damage the plugs and the spark-plug wells^3031323334.

QH5RIU-13 as a direct swap for stock QH6RIU-11 — same 1.1mm gap. Restating and refining the OEM/alternative pairing described on the Spark plugs — factory spec and gap disputes card: original spark plugs are QH6RIU-11 (conical seat). The community-recommended swap is TORCH QH5RIU-13, which keeps the same 1.1mm gap. The iridium version is available from Ozon for roughly 5,000+ RUB. Replacement takes about 15 minutes with a 16mm plug socket and an 8mm socket for the coil-pack bolts (consistent with the socket sizes on the Spark plugs — installation, torque and tools card)^353637383940.

Torch QH6RIU-11 — pricing and availability restated. Torch QH6RIU-11 is confirmed as suitable, still with the same "-11" gap-code marking seen on old/original plugs. Ozon listing price around 1,000 RUB per plug (RU market, April 2026) individually, with only single-plug (not 4-pack) listings available on Ozon/Wildberries at the time; buyers were waiting for a set listing rather than buying 4 singles^4142434445.

Torch QH6RIU-11 iridium +U, ordered via Emex — smoother/quieter after install. A Torch QH6RIU-11 iridium set (U-shaped side electrode, "+U" iridium type) was ordered through Emex Marketplace; Kitzap-stock alternatives were rejected as not matching the correct spec. Confirmed fitment for the X80, sold as a 4-piece set. After installing in May 2026, the reporting owner described the engine as running quieter, smoother, and with reduced knocking^46474849.

TORCH QH5RIU-13 — cross-vehicle listing and confirmed fitment. A specific Ozon/marketplace listing for TORCH QH5RIU-13 iridium plugs (analog ILTR5A-13G, 25mm reach) markets them as fitting Ford, Chevrolet, Mazda, Opel, Volvo, and Suzuki models (Focus, C-Max, Fiesta, Fusion, Mondeo, Galaxy, Captiva, Vectra, Zafira, Astra, Grand Vitara, Escudo, Tribute, CX-9, S40) in addition to the X80. Multiple owners in the group confirmed having installed this exact plug with good results, including one who installed it "just recently" and reports it working perfectly^{50515253545556}. When asked what differentiates plug variants, the answer given was: heat rating (calorific number) and electrode gap⁵⁷.

TORCH QH6RIU-11 — an early, independent recommendation with 30,000+ km reports. An earlier, independent thread recommends TORCH QH6RIU-11 iridium plugs specifically, giving heat rating 6 and gap 1.1mm, describing them as superior to standard plugs and better than the cross-fit alternative QH5RTIP-13. Multiple users in this earlier thread report 30,000+ km of trouble-free service — consistent with, though earlier than, the later lifespan-variance discussion covered on the Spark plugs — lifespan and wear symptoms card^5859606162.

TORCH QH6RIU-11 iridium — 4-pack purchase confirmed, with product photo. A separate owner (Che Guevara) confirmed purchasing and installing TORCH QH6RIU-11 iridium spark plugs sold as a 4-piece pack, reinforcing the reliability track record already documented for this part number on this card⁶³.
