How many kilometers should the spark plugs of BYD F3 be replaced?
2 Answers
BYD F3 spark plugs should be replaced approximately every 40,000 kilometers. Spark plugs are crucial components of the gasoline engine's ignition system. Their working principle involves introducing high voltage into the combustion chamber and causing it to jump across the electrode gap to generate a spark, thereby igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder. Taking the BYD F3 Manual Classic 2020 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4533mm, width 1705mm, height 1490mm, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. The BYD F3 Manual Classic 2020 model is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 80 kW and a maximum torque of 148 Nm, featuring MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I've been driving my BYD F3 for many years, and it's recommended to replace the spark plugs every 30,000 kilometers according to the vehicle manual and maintenance experience. My car mostly runs on highways, so the spark plugs wear less, but frequent stop-and-go traffic in the city can easily lead to carbon buildup and electrode erosion. If not replaced in time, the ignition system may fail, causing severe engine shaking and poor acceleration. Once, I neglected to replace them and the car suddenly stalled on the road—luckily, I pulled over and found the issue. Having a technician check them during regular maintenance or simply inspecting the spark plug gap yourself can prevent bigger troubles. Safety comes first; don't delay too long. Poor spark plug condition can also affect fuel efficiency, potentially increasing fuel consumption by 15%. Using original parts offers good value for money and ensures stable ignition.
