Spark Plugs

[Pterodactyl_imp]

Ptero...that's like 24,000 miles isn't it? Doesn't Honda call for replacement at 8,000 miles (13,000 kms) or is that just an inspection?

My manual says inspect at 12,000 kms (7,500 miles), replace at 24,000 kms (15,000 miles), inspect at 36,000 kms. It gives up then.

Further to my last:

I wasn't avoiding your questions regarding plug change intervals, just making sure my facts were right. In fact you are both right.

Firstly the Honda Shop Manual calls for plug REPLACEMENT at 8000miles and every 8000 thereafter. Inspection is at the 4000 mile intermediate services. This equates, to us tied to a metric system, to 12.8 thousand kilometres and every 12.8 thereafter for REPLACEMENT. Inspections at the 6.4k intermediate services.

The Honda Owners Manual calls for REPLACEMENT at 24000 kilometres and every 24000kms thereafter. Inspections at the 12000kms intervals.

Quite a disparity, to say the least. It's true that my shop manual is for the 2013 model but let's face it, a spark plug is a spark plug when its the same plug for the '10 through '13 models (NKG LMAR8A-9S).

The Honda dealer's service manager, mine anyway, likes to follow the shop manual intervals. Keeps the stock turning over I guess. I would have one message for him:
