The spark plug is the component responsible for ensuring that the fuel is burned correctly, no waste.

"In addition to excessive fuel consumption, Worn spark plugs can cause engine failure., difficulties in departure and even an increase in pollutant emissions", explains NGK's Technical Assistance consultant, Hiromori Mori.
According to the NGK expert, due to the technological evolution of vehicles, the driver does not always notice when the spark plug starts to malfunction and consumes more fuel. "That's why, the check is so important", says Mori.
A malfunctioning spark plug can also damage other components such as cables., coils and catalyst. "In general, the replacement value of the components is always higher than the preventive review. That is why, indicamos a checagem das velas a cada 10 mil quilômetros ou conforme orientação da fabricante do veículo”, alert the Technical Assistance consultant.
