How Long Do Platinum Spark Plugs Last?
1 Answers
Platinum spark plug lifespan varies depending on the type: single platinum spark plugs last 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers, while double platinum spark plugs last approximately 80,000 kilometers. The functions of spark plugs are: 1. Introducing high-voltage electricity generated by the ignition coil into the engine cylinder; 2. Generating sparks between the spark plug electrode gaps to ignite the air-fuel mixture, ensuring normal engine operation. The removal method for spark plugs is: 1. Clean any dust or debris around the spark plug area using compressed air or a soft tube for blowing; 2. Ensure the engine is in a cold state; 3. Protect the spark plug installation port immediately after removal to prevent debris or dust from entering the cylinder; 4. Avoid damaging the insulating porcelain body when using a wrench; 5. Do not bend or strike the center electrode when adjusting the spark plug gap.
