from my limited knowledge the answer is a definate NO NO NO

the number on the plug represents the heating of the plug

in MAX (quoting denso range only)you can use the IW24, IW27, IW29,IW31

the lower the number the hotter the plug

you run a hot plug in very cold conditions and run a cooler plug in hot conditions.

i believe that if you run a cool plug in cold conditions the plug will not be able to burn off the residue from detonation. if you run a hot plug (IW24) in hot conditions the plug will DEFINATELY overheat and it is likely you may sieze your engine

you have to run the correct plug for the conditions

so to recap

run a cool plug in cold weather = plug foul and engine dies/work work = stops

run a hot plug in hot conditions = plug overheat and possible engine sieze = definately end of day

hope this helps and i am open to correction

cheers
