How Often Should Civic Spark Plugs Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Civic spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 kilometers under normal maintenance conditions. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it is recommended to follow the user manual. The following standards can be referenced for maintenance and replacement: platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. How to replace spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the plastic engine cover, and remove the high-voltage ignition wires. Mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris such as leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage ignition wires in the firing order, then secure the cover.
