What kind of spark plug should a Honda GX390 use?

Model Plug Cap NGK
9.0/GX270, GXV270 0.030 BP5ES/S130922
11.0/GX340, GXV340 0.030 BP5ES/S130922
13.0/GX360(Liquid) 0.030 BP5ES/S130868
13.0/GX390, GXV390 0.030 BP5ES/S130922



Many people also wonder what the difference is between NGK bpr5es vs bpr6es.

BPRxES refers to an NGK part number. This makes sense as Honda contracts with NGK for their "factory plugs". The HTML5ES will be hotter than the HTML6ES. A BPR6ES can cause premature fouling in engines designed for BPR5ES. An engine designed to handle a BPR6ES could also cause detonation.

The next question is: What oil should a Honda GX390 use? Honda's GX390 oil recommendation states that 10W-30 is the best for general use. Straight 30 at temperatures above 10C (50F). For LPG GX390, they prohibit multi-grade oils and require only straight 30.

Also, find out what horsepower a Honda GX390 has.

What do NGK bpr6es mean?

The NGK BPR6ES spark plug is compatible with most Honda and Honda clone garden and lawn engines. These include the Honda GC160 and GC190, GX270 and GX390 engines as well as some Briggs & Stratton engines and Harbor Freight Predator engines.
