Spark Plugs for Chevy Spark
The spark plugs used in a Chevy Spark can vary depending on the model and year of the vehicle. However, the most common types of spark plugs used by Chevy include platinum spark plugs and iridium spark plugs. For older models such as the Camaro and Corvette, Chevy recommends Bosch Platinum+4 spark plugs, designed for long-lasting performance and enhanced fuel economy. For newer models like the Silverado and Tahoe, Chevy recommends ACDelco Double Platinum spark plugs.
It’s important to note that the type of spark plugs recommended for a specific Chevy model can be found in the owner’s manual of the vehicle. It’s advisable to use the spark plugs recommended in the owner’s manual, as every spark plug model has particular characteristics, and the engine of the Chevrolet has been optimized to function with those specific spark plugs.
When considering replacement, it’s recommended to change the spark plugs after driving between 35,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on the type of spark plug, driving style, and the quality of the fuel used.
