How Often Should the Spark Plugs on a Refine S3 Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The replacement interval for spark plugs on a Refine S3 is every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Spark plugs are crucial components in a gasoline engine's ignition system. They introduce high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber, creating a spark across the electrode gap to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. If a spark plug is damaged, it can directly cause issues such as electrical leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, and reduced power. The most significant problem is difficulty in ignition, which affects the vehicle's normal operation. Severe erosion of the spark plug, such as pitting at the tip, damage, or melted and eroded electrodes, indicates that the spark plug is worn out and should be replaced. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood and remove the engine's plastic cover. Detach the high-voltage ignition wires, marking each wire according to its corresponding cylinder to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove each spark plug one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure the area is thoroughly cleaned. Insert the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to fully tighten it. Reinstall the high-voltage ignition wires in the correct firing order, then reattach the cover.
