Frequently asked questions
When do spark plugs need replacing?+
It depends on your vehicle and the type of plugs. Check your owner's manual or call us with your year, make and model and we'll tell you the interval. We don't quote a universal figure because it varies by engine.
Can bad spark plugs really hurt fuel economy?+
Yes. Worn plugs cause incomplete combustion, which drops fuel economy and power and can lead to misfires. Replacing them on schedule keeps the engine running cleanly.
