How Often To Change Spark Plugs

While oil changes are part of your regular maintenance, it’s easy to forget about other parts of your vehicle that may need your attention every once in a while. Your vehicle’s spark plugs do need to be replaced to keep your vehicle running smoothly around Orfordville and Janesville. Experts generally recommend replacing them every 30,000 miles, but it can vary depending on your specific model. Check your owner’s manual for more specific information.

When Do You Change Spark Plugs? 

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 as soon as you start your vehicle. So if they aren’t functioning properly they can drastically affect your vehicle’s performance with issues like:

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

Benefits of Changing Your Spark Plugs

In addition to avoiding some of the issues listed above, there are other benefits that can come from regularly changing your spark plugs. Find out the benefits of replacing your spark plugs as part of the preventative maintenance for your vehicle:

• Improved fuel economy – Having a worn-out spark plug can reduce your fuel economy by as much as 30% on Orfordville drives, 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.
