What is the replacement interval for the Magotan's spark plugs in kilometers?
2 Answers
The replacement interval for the Magotan's spark plugs is 30,000 kilometers. The function of spark plugs is to introduce the high-voltage electricity generated by the ignition coil into the engine cylinder, creating a spark between the electrodes of the spark plug to ignite the air-fuel mixture, thereby enabling the engine to operate. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category, with body dimensions of: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, wheelbase of 2871mm, fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, and a curb weight of 1445kg. The 2020 Magotan features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The replacement interval for the Magotan's spark plugs is generally around 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers, depending on the specific model and engine type. Older models may require replacement every 30,000 kilometers, while newer versions, such as those equipped with the EA888 engine, can last longer, approaching 60,000 kilometers. The material of the spark plugs also affects their lifespan—iridium or platinum plugs are more durable. I believe driving habits are crucial. If you frequently drive in congested urban areas, the spark plugs wear out faster, and you should consider checking them around 40,000 kilometers. Delaying replacement can lead to poor ignition, engine shaking, increased fuel consumption, and even reduced power, affecting the driving experience. Remember to regularly check the owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendations. I usually suggest inspecting the spark plugs during every 5,000-kilometer minor maintenance to address any issues early and avoid breakdowns on the road.
