Car spark plugs and the effect on engine performance.
The spark plugs ignite the oil-air mixture in the cylinder. A damaged spark plug causes incomplete combustion, engine loss of power, increased oil consumption, and may cause increased air pollution.
Interval of spark plug changes by type
Copper: every 20,000 km — the lowest price
Platinum: every 60,000 km — medium quality
Iridium: every 100,000 km — long life, maximum efficiency.
Choosing the right candle
The choice of spark plugs should be based on the recommendations of the car manufacturer. The use of spark plugs with a different heat range than the recommended one is not recommended, as this may damage the engine.
Frequently asked questions
How is an iridium candle better than a copper candle?
Iridium candles have the longest lifespan of about 100,000 km. Because iridium is a very hard and heat resistant metal, it allows accurate and consistent ignition throughout the lifespan. Copper candles have the shortest lifespan of 20,000 km. but are the cheapest. Platinum is in the middle at 60,000 km.
What symptoms do you have that indicate that the head is deteriorating?
Symptoms to be wary of include engine shaking or shaking when running slowly, slow throttle response, abnormal fuel consumption, engine start difficulties, black smoke from exhaust pipes, and abnormal engine sounds. These signs may be caused by rusty or dirty spark plugs.
How many cylinders does one spark plug hold?
Most cars have one head per cylinder. 4 piston cars use 4 heads, 6 piston cars use 6 heads, and 8 piston cars use 8 heads. However, some cars have Twin Spark systems that use 2 heads per cylinder. Check the exact number from the car manual or ask the mechanic before buying.
Should I change the candles one by one or the whole set?
The spark plugs are replaced at the same time.
