Spark plug question

[rocel]

good day po Sir!

i bought my 2nd hand car (toyota xl 94, 12 valves, 1.3) 3 years ago, since then i haven't replace yet the spark plugs..just wanna ask,what is the frequency of changing spark plugs?are there any signs in performance that will guide me that it's due now to replace it?i'm sorry i just have no idea regarding this.trying to maintain my car in good condition
also i wanna ask if how many spark plugs my car has?do you have an idea sir how much is the price per pc?

thank you sir!

4 sparkplugs, ideally every other change oil. go for the OEM kind na lang.

NGK is a good brand. Check mo sa manual kung ano ang recommended OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer - meaning STOCK) spark plug type. Typically costs less than P100 pesos.

You can do the spark plug replacement on your next oil change.

sir,wala na po kasi akong manual,medyu lumang model ang 2nd hand na kai kotse ko. 100peseos/pc sir? so bale 400 for the spark plugs + Labor costs, tama po ba sir?

[mazingerZ]

Yup. That's why isabay mo sa oil change para makatipid.

parehas tayo ng makina 2E 1.3 liter 12 valve SOHC pag platinum spark plug NGK maganda sabog sa loob ng combustion chamber at mahaba buhay nya ang bili ko 640 peso isang set One box inside 4 pieces plugs. Bili ka sa NGK Automotive Parts Inc. sa banawe sa quezon para orig. habang nag lalakad ka wag mo kausapin ung mga taong lalapit sayo roon. Much better na pumunta ka sa loob ng store. Every one year ako nag papalit ng plug araw araw ko ginagamit. Pag inalok ka ng denso 80 pesos ata un OEM un ng toyota kaso walang tatak japan thailand ata

Panoorin mo tong video ng NGK spark plug platinum para sa 2E engine ko

Change your spark plugs every 10,000kms and change oil every 5,000kms. No need for platinums really. Aside from NGK in Banawe, try also Toyorama. they're all in the stretch near E. Rodriguez.

thank you sir for the input
sir paano niyo po nasabi na "no need to go for platinum really",any experiences sir?

even if yu dont have the manual, you can check with the auto parts store the required spark plug for your can (bosch, denso, ngk,etc,) kahit gumamit ka ng platinum kung ang required ng car manufacturer ay magpalit ka every 10k kms etc., then sayan lang na mhal ang cost ng parts.

i once use the bosch super 4 pero mukhang mainit lang sa makina though maganda ang sunog kasi apat yun nagbibigay spark still on the 10k kms nagpapalit ako, unless kung sa tingin mo na malinis pa at d pa naman pumapalya ang power ng engine mo eh you ma try the "platinum" material

i see, i understand it now sir
will just follow the advice to replace plugs every change oil then,twice na kasi ako nagpalit ng oil ngunit di ko pinapalitan ang spark plugs..
thanks sir for the idea!:bike2:

Dati rin akong may 2E na makina gamitin mo iyong 95 0ctane pag 93 gamit ko may tope makina . at platinum tip matibay pero depende sa gasolina natin na may halong e10 na.
ordinary copper plug okay na basta okay ang timpla ng air fuel mixture ng carburator mo.Mas matipid sa gasolina at maganda sunog ng spark plug .

thank you sir!so preferable pa rin talaga to use premium than unleaded gasoline,the last clean of my carb is 3 years ago,last change oil ko kasi na dalawang beses ay di naman binuksan carb ko..kaya next project ko is change oil along with replacement of spark plugs and cleaning of carb..
thanks a lot sir!

Added cost lang yan. Pareho lang naman din ang resulta. Don't go for the more expensive plugs. We've been there. Sayang ang pera men.
