The spark plug is a vital component of the engine.

Its purpose is to ignite the air or fuel mixture inside the engine cylinder. Electrical energy is transmitted into the spark plug and ignites the fuel and air mixture in the engine combustion chamber. Another function of the spark plug is to help remove heat from the combustion chamber or the engine’s cylinder.

Like all other parts found on a certain vehicle, spark plugs can also eventually wear out and won’t work properly. As an owner, you should check and maintain your spark plugs or replace it if necessary.

Spark plugs are somewhat durable components and don’t need to be replaced too often, that said, the general recommendation is about every 30,000 to 90,000 miles. Each vehicle may differ on when they should be replaced. While this can be a fairly simple service and could be considered a do-it-yourself task, take caution as each spark plug location varies by manufacturer.

There may be obstructions such as large components or parts that may be difficult to remove without special tools to loosen them. Be sure to consult with professional for details on when to replace the spark plugs for your specific vehicle.
