1 Answers
Ford Mondeo's spark plugs should be replaced every 30,000 kilometers. The original engine uses NGK spark plugs, model LTR6AI-8. Spark plug replacement intervals: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended between 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. It is advisable to follow the owner's manual. The following standards can be referenced for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the engine hood and remove the plastic cover of the engine. Detach the high-voltage ignition wires, marking each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. During removal, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are cleaned thoroughly. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the high-voltage ignition wires in the firing order and secure the cover.
