Bosch says "...a low heat range number indicates a "cold plug" with low heat absorption through its short insulator nose. A high heat-range code number applies to a "hot plug" with high heat absorption through it's long insulator nose"...
So, 2-4 is cold, 7-10 is hot...
why not stick with what the manufacturer lists?

Hi All,
Is a 7 a hotter plugs than a 6 in Bosch-speak?
I was just at the NGK site www.ngk.com . In NGK-speak, a higher number is
colder (dissipates more heat).
Cheers,
