How often should the spark plugs be replaced on a Wuling Hongguang S?
1 Answers
It is recommended to replace the spark plugs on a Wuling Hongguang S every 40,000 kilometers. Spark plugs, commonly known as sparkers, function by discharging the pulsed high-voltage electricity sent from the high-voltage wire, breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the mixed gas in the cylinder. The types of spark plugs are as follows: 1. Standard spark plugs: The insulator skirt is slightly recessed into the shell end face, with the side electrode outside the shell end face, making it the most widely used type; 2. Extended tip spark plugs: The insulator skirt is longer, protruding beyond the shell end face. They have advantages such as high heat absorption and good anti-fouling ability, and can be directly cooled by the intake air to lower temperature, thus reducing the likelihood of hot spots and offering a wide thermal adaptability range; 3. Fine electrode spark plugs: These have very thin electrodes, characterized by strong sparks and excellent ignition capability, ensuring quick and reliable engine starts even in cold seasons, with a wide thermal range suitable for various uses; 4. Tapered seat spark plugs: The shell and threaded part are conical, allowing for good sealing without the need for a gasket, thereby reducing the size of the spark plug, which is more beneficial for engine design; 5. Multi-electrode spark plugs: Usually have two or more side electrodes, offering reliable ignition and eliminating the need for frequent gap adjustments, making them suitable for gasoline engines where electrodes are prone to erosion and spark plug gaps cannot be adjusted frequently; 6. Surface gap spark plugs: Also known as surface discharge spark plugs, they are the coldest type, with a concentric gap between the center electrode and the shell end face.
