What are the benefits of replacing spark plugs?
1 Answers
Replacing spark plugs can improve the vehicle's power performance. Spark plugs themselves are wear-prone components that require regular replacement. If spark plugs are damaged, they can directly cause issues such as leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and most notably, difficulty in ignition, which affects the normal operation of the vehicle. Severe erosion of spark plugs, including scarring, damage, or melting and erosion of the electrodes, indicates that the spark plugs are damaged and should be replaced. Location of spark plugs: Spark plugs are installed on the side or top of the engine. In earlier models, spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition cables. Over the past decade, most car engines have been updated to connect the ignition coil directly to the spark plugs. Replacement interval for spark plugs: 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 user manual. Generally, platinum spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs every 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.
