Spark plug change

Changed spark plugs at 50K mi on my C300 yesterday.Simple,straightforward job.My old original plugs were Bosch Platinum R1.The new ones I ordered "for the 2011 C300" are "Bosch Double Platinum R6". Does the higher # denote a higher heat range and if so will they cause and issues? Thanks.Car runs fine by the way..

Why changed at 50K miles? The stock plugs are supposed to last well over 100K miles.

Plugs lifespan is 90k. I just did mine at 69k. Just because they work in the parameters of the computer Doesn't mean their efficient. 50k is a little early but it's fine if you want to spend the money your not going to hurt anything. I mainly did mine because at the time I'd be hitting close to the 90 itd be in winter time when I wouldn't want to deal with it.
