Mazda Axela spark plug replacement procedure: Open the hood, lift the plastic engine cover, remove the high-voltage ignition wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. During removal, check for external debris like leaves or dust and ensure thorough cleaning. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it for a few turns, then use the socket to fully tighten. Reinstall the high-voltage ignition wires according to the firing order and secure the cover. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended at 40,000-60,000 km. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. Always consult the owner's manual. Maintenance reference standards: Platinum spark plugs at 40,000 km, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 km, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000-80,000 km.
