41-906 I'd imagine. I know of one company that has the heat range ratings in reverse, NGK. In other words the higher the number the colder the plug. The number you should be looking for with these plugs is probably the last number. So, traditionally, this plug should be hotter the higher the number.

As my car has actually NGK, the reverse rating made me doubt. What you say is logical.

Thanks
