Are Spark Plugs Universal for All Cars?
1 Answers
Spark plugs in cars are not universal. Many car owners only focus on the material and the number of electrodes when replacing spark plugs, but the heat range of the spark plug is also crucial. Each brand has specific heat ranges corresponding to different car models. Therefore, it's important to ensure that the heat range of the spark plug you purchase matches your car model; otherwise, it may cause varying degrees of impact. The function of a spark plug is to introduce the high-voltage electricity generated by the ignition coil into the engine cylinder, creating a spark between the electrodes to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The heat range of a spark plug is indicated by numbers, ranging from 1 to 9. Numbers 1 to 3 represent low heat range, 4 to 6 medium heat range, and 7 to 9 high heat range. Most passenger cars use spark plugs with a heat range between 5 and 7.
