What is the original spark plug model for the X-Trail?

The spark plug model for the X-Trail 2.0L variant is the standard DILKAR7D11H, while the 2.5L variant uses the standard FXE20HE11, both featuring double platinum material. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's advisable to follow the user manual. Reference maintenance standards: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 km, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 km, and iridium spark plugs between 60,000-80,000 km. Symptoms of faulty spark plugs include: difficulty starting, reduced power, excessive exhaust emissions, and increased fuel consumption. How spark plugs work: Under high voltage, the air between the spark plug's center electrode and side electrode rapidly ionizes, forming positive ions and negative free electrons. When the voltage reaches a certain threshold, the number of ions and electrons multiplies like an avalanche, causing the air to lose its insulating properties and creating a discharge channel - a phenomenon known as "breakdown." This produces a luminous gas body (the "spark") accompanied by thermal expansion and a cracking sound. The spark temperature can reach 2,000-3,000°C, sufficient to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.

What to Do If the First Maintenance at 5000 Kilometers Is Exceeded?

After exceeding the first maintenance mileage, the first step is to contact the 4S service department to inquire about the latest maintenance time and schedule an appointment. Refer to the oil health level displayed by your vehicle, as it varies depending on individual driving habits. If the first maintenance exceeds the specified mileage, consult with the service staff for negotiation. The action depends on how much the 5000-kilometer limit is exceeded. A slight overage may still allow for the maintenance to proceed.
