Many plugs will fit and the car will run, but the OEMs are the best plugs for the car.

I dun't think it'll be a good idea to run the hotter plugs (6) in a place that is already hot like the Cayman Islands





The lower the number, the hotter the plug. Mebbie you should wait till you get a 7 heat range.

The 6's are a step colder than the 5's. You should be ok for a short while till you get the right plugs.

NGK copper racing plugs 7173, which is one step colder. However, being copper plugs, you need to check them more often and change or clean as necessary.
