We know that remembering everything that needs to be inspected and maintained on your vehicle can be difficult. So if you’ve ever wondered how often to change spark plugs in your vehicle, then you’re not alone! Most experts generally recommend replacing them every 30,000 miles, but with most pieces, those numbers can vary depending on your specific model. So be sure to consult your owner’s manual for the most accurate information for your vehicle. Learn more or contact us at Superior Ford today!

 

 

When Do You Change Spark Plugs? 

First things first, you should know that your spark plugs are one of your ignition components that work by moving the high voltage current from the ignition coil to ignite the combustion chamber when you start your vehicle. When your spark plugs aren’t functioning properly you’ll start to see performance issues on your Fayetteville drives, including:

  • Slow or no start
  • Engine misfire
  • Engine is running rough
  • Rough idling
  • Poor acceleration
  • High fuel consumption

Benefits of Changing Your Spark Plugs

Regularly changing your spark plugs can also have many benefits to maintaining the health and longevity of your vehicle. If you keep up your preventative maintenance schedule you may see benefits like:

  • Improved fuel economy – Having a worn out spark plug can reduce your fuel economy by as much as 30%, and replacing it can help gain that back.
  • Consistent combustion system – Spark plugs allow for the continuous production of combustion and leave your vehicle’s system running as it should be.
  • Your Vehicle Starts Smoothly – Replace your spark plug, and when you turn the key in the ignition, you can feel your vehicle start effortlessly. 
  • Less harmful emissions – Replacing your vehicle’s spark plugs can not only help increase your gas mileage but also improve your emissions.
