How often should the spark plugs be replaced on the new Mondeo?
1 Answers
The spark plug replacement interval for the Ford Mondeo is 30,000 kilometers. The original factory-installed spark plugs are NGK model LTR6AI-8. Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it is recommended to follow the owner's manual. The following standards can be used as a reference 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. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, remove the engine's plastic cover, and detach 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 fully tighten them. Reinstall the high-voltage ignition wires in the correct firing order and reattach the cover.
