What is the spark plug model specification for the Baojun 560?

Baojun 560 uses Shanghai GM "genuine" spark plugs, Torch brand, model k6rtc. Here is relevant information about spark plugs: 1. Function: Commonly known as spark plugs, their role is to discharge the pulsed high voltage electricity sent from the high voltage wire (spark plug wire), breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the mixed gas in the cylinder. 2. Main types: There are mainly standard spark plugs, insulator projection spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat spark plugs, pole spark plugs, surface jump spark plugs, etc. Spark plugs, together with the ignition system and fuel supply system, enable the engine to perform work, and to a large extent, jointly determine the engine's performance.
Regarding the spark plug model for the Baojun 560, according to official documentation, the version equipped with the 1.8L naturally aspirated engine commonly uses the NGK BKR6EIX-11 nickel alloy spark plug, with a heat rating of 6 and an electrode gap of 0.8mm. The engine's ignition system is matched with this model to ensure efficient combustion and avoid power loss. I recommend that owners check the spark plugs every 30,000 kilometers, as carbon buildup and aging can affect fuel consumption and startup speed. Using the wrong model, such as a spark plug with too high a heat rating, may cause engine shaking or pre-ignition incidents. The newer 1.5T engine might use platinum models like the BKR8EIX, depending on the year and manual. When replacing them yourself, use a torque wrench to tighten to around 15-20 Nm to prevent over-tightening and damaging the cylinder. Long-term neglect of spark plug maintenance can also shorten the lifespan of the ignition coil, doubling the cost.
