How many kilometers should the spark plugs of a Mondeo be replaced?
2 Answers
Mondeo's spark plugs should be replaced approximately every 60,000 kilometers. The spark plug consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. The Mondeo is a mid-size car under Ford. Taking the Mondeo 2020 180 Fashion model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4873 mm, width 1852 mm, height 1470 mm, wheelbase 2850 mm, and fuel tank capacity 62.5 liters. The Mondeo 2020 180 Fashion model is equipped with a 1.5T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 134 kW and a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I must emphasize the importance of spark plugs—they are essentially the heart of the engine, responsible for ignition. Once worn out, they can cause the car to shake, accelerate sluggishly, or even stall. For the Mondeo, according to Ford's manual, most models recommend replacement between 30,000 to 60,000 kilometers, depending on the year and engine type—older models may need earlier replacement, while newer engines might last up to 50,000 km. I've seen many owners delay replacement until 70,000 km, only to face skyrocketing fuel consumption and costly repairs. Making it a habit to have the mechanic check the spark plugs during regular maintenance is wise—replacing them proactively saves hassle and money while ensuring stable high-speed performance and avoiding sudden breakdowns.
