What brand are the original spark plugs for the Geely Vision?

The original spark plugs for the Geely Vision are Torch KL6RTC nickel alloy spark plugs. Main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, extended insulator spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, and surface-gap spark plugs. Spark plugs are crucial components in a gasoline engine's ignition system. They introduce high voltage into the combustion chamber and generate sparks by jumping across the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Spark plugs are installed on the side or top of the engine. Early spark plugs connected to the distributor via ignition cables, but over the past decade, most car engines have switched to direct connection between ignition coils and spark plugs. Spark plug replacement steps: Open the hood, lift the engine's plastic cover, remove the ignition cables, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. Check for external debris like leaves or dust during removal and clean thoroughly. Insert new spark plugs into the holes, hand-tighten them first, then use the socket to tighten further. Reinstall the ignition cables according to the firing order and secure the cover.
I've worked on quite a few Geely Vision models, where the OEM spark plugs are usually Bosch brand, with common models like FR7KC. These ensure ignition efficiency and fuel economy. Don't overlook these small components—after prolonged use, the electrodes can wear out or accumulate carbon deposits, leading to hard starting and sluggish acceleration. Follow the maintenance manual to inspect them every 40,000-60,000 km. If you notice significant engine vibration or increased fuel consumption, replace them promptly with either OEM Bosch plugs or NGK alternatives. Avoid prolonged idling during daily driving to extend spark plug lifespan. In short, maintaining their proper operation helps prevent major failures.
I've driven a Geely Vision for several years and remember it came with NGK spark plugs from the factory, though I forgot the specific model. After replacing them, the car ran noticeably smoother. Spark plugs are responsible for ignition, and when they age from prolonged use, performance can be affected. I recommend checking or replacing them every 50,000 kilometers. During maintenance, pay extra attention to the engine's condition—if there's significant carbon buildup, use a cleaner to address it and avoid unnecessary expenses. I've also tried other brands when modifying, but the factory NGK plugs provided the best fit, ensuring smooth operation. Proper maintenance saves fuel and enhances safety, making driving more worry-free.
