What is the spark plug model for MG6?
2 Answers
The spark plug used in the MG6 is from the NGK brand, with the model number BKR6EVX (double platinum). Composition of a spark plug: A spark plug mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. Types of spark plugs: The main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, projected insulator spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, and surface-gap spark plugs. Replacement cycle for spark plugs: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine, so it is recommended to follow the user manual. Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.
The common spark plug model for the MG6 is NGK DILZKAR7B11, which is the standard configuration for the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. As someone who frequently handles MG maintenance, I've found that this model applies to versions produced after 2017. You can confirm this by checking the label under the hood or the owner's manual. The spark plug's function is to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, directly affecting power and fuel consumption, so regular inspection is crucial. I recommend replacing them every 40,000 kilometers to prevent poor ignition caused by carbon buildup. When replacing, use proper tools to avoid damaging the electrode. If the model is incorrect, the engine may experience shaking or weak acceleration, and in severe cases, it could damage the entire ignition system. Therefore, it's best to visit an authorized repair shop or 4S store to ensure proper matching. During routine maintenance, checking the spark plug gap can prevent many potential issues.
