No, cause its crap. Don't buy into all this two, three, four ground electrode BS. Electricity follows the path of least resistance, so its only going to fire off one of the electrodes at a time. Since they are located in different places you will often get incomplete combustion and bad scavenging in the combustion chamber. Get NGK platinum plugs, and change them every 60k, i would even take copper plugs over those crap *** E3 plugs.

I bought into the E3 junk a while back and I'm just glad I didn't ruin my engine. Started getting a misfire a week after installing them, when I took them out it looked like someone had thrown them into a bonfire for a while. Pure expensive junk. Rockin' the NGKs now, no issues.
