What is a Spark Plug and What Does it Do?

Spark plugs are responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in your engine's cylinders. This ignition is necessary as it creates the combustion required to start the engine and operate your vehicle. Over time, spark plugs can wear out or become fouled, leading to a range of issues, from poor fuel efficiency to engine misfires. As such, regular spark plug replacements are necessary to keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.

How Often Should You Replace Your Spark Plug?

Regularly replacing your vehicle’s spark plug is essential as it helps ensure that your engine will reliably start every time you turn over the ignition. As a general rule of thumb, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram engineers recommend replacing your engine’s spark plugs every 50,000 to 100,000 kilometers. This is dependent on the type of spark plugs used, as well as your typical driving conditions. For the most accurate spark plug replacement interval, consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual.
