Lala81 Hypersonic July 23, 2019 Share July 23, 2019 Spark plugs to change at 60k is stated in the manual? Usually iridium plugs nowadays are to be replaced at 100k. I replaced mine at 80k during major servicing just to be safe.Yes stated in manual. Lol for the Thai versions. My altis I changed once cos recommended by service center. But that was at like 20k.

Occidio Neutral Newbie July 28, 2019 Share July 28, 2019 Yeah one of the things i have really learned is never to tighen something too much ! It damages the thread, wont hold on any better than correct torque and can be hell to get out again, worst case you damage the bolt/sparkplug etc. My sparkplugs i usually just tighten with firm grim, like unwinding a jam lid, if not a torque wrench is at hand, it has worked all the times :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear July 29, 2019 Share July 29, 2019 Thin wall spark plug sockets especially 14mm 12points drive are difficult to locate in Singapore. Attached newly design thin wall spark plug socket with torque limiting device from Taiwan tool maker. Designed to help mechanics save time and to prevent over tightening.

Lala81 Hypersonic August 20, 2019 Share August 20, 2019 (edited) Honda parts can get from the stockist like Thian Seng or Meng Ngee, or even from MCF market place!Yeah la. This oem spark plug from online shop and deliver to my home mah. I just assumed their specs would be correct. Since their site can find all the model number of the corresponding parts. Now ws say cannot fit, then where can exchange so fast. Car already down. Where got so much time to go settle. Just pay and settle the problem for now.

Haha now it's using original leh. The oem parts all don't fit. Anyway unlikely i will change again. 4.5+ years, only 62000km. Even if I keep to near scrap, unlikely to change 2nd time with my mileage. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
