Spark Plugs
Spark plugs are responsible for initiating the combustion process that gets your vehicle up and running. By emitting a bolt of electricity across a small gap, they ignite the fuel and air mixture that sets the pistons in motion. It's a crucial function that can lead to significant engine damage if not performed correctly. Worn-out spark plugs may not emit a spark, resulting in engine failure. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of spark plugs not only ensures the smooth operation of your vehicle but also contributes to better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. When choosing new spark plugs, consider factors like the material—copper, platinum, or iridium—each offering different benefits in terms of longevity and performance. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a trusted mechanic to determine the best option for your specific model. By keeping your spark plugs in optimal condition, you can enjoy a reliable driving experience and extend the life of your engine.
It's recommended that spark plugs be replaced between 100,000 km to 160,000 km by most manufacturers.
