How often should the Murano's spark plugs be replaced?
1 Answers
The Murano's spark plugs should be replaced every 50,000 kilometers. Methods to determine if spark plugs are damaged: Remove the spark plugs and observe their appearance to assess their condition. Normal spark plugs have an insulator skirt and electrodes that appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug will have a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plugs are covered in oil or deposits but are not damaged, they can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plugs are severely damaged, showing signs like blistering, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plugs with new ones. Additionally, if the spark plugs appear black as if smoked, it indicates the wrong heat range was selected, the air-fuel mixture is too rich, or engine oil is leaking into the combustion chamber.
