Spark Plugs: what it does & when to replace it
Spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture in each cylinder. Worn plugs cause rough idle, misfires, hard starting, hesitation, and reduced fuel economy. Service intervals vary widely by plug type: copper plugs last around 50,000 km, while iridium and platinum plugs can last 100,000–160,000 km. Always match the manufacturer heat range and gap. Replacement is a moderate DIY job — straightforward on inline engines but harder on V-engines where the rear bank is hard to reach. Electric vehicles do not use spark plugs at all.
DIY difficulty: Moderate DIY (gap matters; harder on V-engines). Always confirm the correct part for your exact build by VIN before buying.

How to replace the spark plugs on a 2023 Honda Ridgeline
- 1With the engine cool, remove the engine cover and disconnect one coil pack or plug lead at a time (do them one at a time to keep firing order).
- 2Blow out debris from the plug well, then unscrew the old plug with a spark plug socket.
- 3Check the new plug’s gap against the manufacturer spec and adjust only if needed.
- 4Thread the new plug in by hand to avoid cross-threading, then torque it to spec.
- 5Reconnect the coil/lead (a dab of dielectric grease helps) and repeat for each cylinder.
