Spark Plugs

There are many key components in your Kia's ignition system. Your spark plugs are one of the major ones. Without spark plugs, your car wouldn't start. Keeping them in good shape, then, is extremely important. Depending on the type of spark plug, they can last a certain length of time. Copper spark plugs (which are standard) last between 10-15,000 miles, depending on the conditions you drive in. Platinum spark plugs can last a great deal longer. They are important parts of your car that should be checked on a regular basis, regardless of the kind you have. There is no exact time frame for how long they will last. You might experience signs and symptoms that indicate you should get them replaced. One major signs of something being wrong in the ignition system is a reduced amount of acceleration. When the materials of a spark plug wear out, it's less effective, and this can impact the acceleration and power your car has. You also might notice a drop in fuel economy, which might indicate there too much of a gap between your spark plug's electrodes. Find OEM Kia spark plugs here on our site when you need replacements.
