The standard spark plug gap is between 0.8-0.9mm. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its appearance color to assess its condition. A normal spark plug will have an insulator skirt and electrodes that appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug will have a reddish-brown insulator skirt, an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm, and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug is contaminated with oil or deposits but is not damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged, showing signs such as blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plug with a new one. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates that the wrong heat range was selected or that the air-fuel mixture is too rich, causing oil to rise.

How many kilometers should the differential oil be changed for the Mercedes GLK300?

Mercedes GLK300 differential oil should be changed every 30,000 kilometers. The role of differential oil in protection: Differential oil is a lubricant specifically developed for lubricating the rear differential of rear-wheel-drive vehicles, effectively providing certain protection to the differential. During continuous high-load driving, the temperature of the gear oil in the transmission and differential can sometimes exceed 120 degrees Celsius. Under high-temperature conditions, the lubricating performance of the differential oil decreases, leading to deterioration of the gear oil. Excellent thermal stability: Increased friction between gears in the differential structure can raise the vehicle's fuel consumption and, over time, damage components such as the differential and differential lock. In addition to its functions of lubrication, anti-wear, and cooling, differential oil also offers better thermal stability compared to engine oil.
