So I'm sorry to post again but I am really bad at finding things online apparently... I have reached 30k on my 2016 Passion and I am looking to do the maintenance myself. That being said I am having trouble finding the spark plugs I need to get. So I am looking for some help!

My engine is this: 1.0L L3 DOHC 12V

Thanks in advance

If you have a U.S. model 2016 gas Passion then you have the .9L turbo engine, not the Euro 1L engine. Try that search.

Are spark plugs a 30K service item? I don't have a gas Smart, so I don't know. Just curious since most plugs go a lot longer now.

Stock plugs are a 30K units on the 451, you can switch to the extended service ones and go twice as far...

The 453 factory plugs are made with iridium and are said to go 100K mi.

Try this as a starting point. This is for Auto Zone. Hopefully you have one of these nearby for you. DCO

Anyone do the plugs? im at 45km right now which is calls for Plug Change but seems kinda overkill if they are Iridium from Factory

The life expectancy of iridium spark plugs is 40,000 to 45,000 miles. The electrode is made of very hard material, but since it is quite small I suppose they do wear down quicker than you think they would. DCO

 

[jimvw57]

There are different duty cycles for iridium plugs. one style has a duty cycle of 30-45k miles, the other has a duty cycle of about 100k miles. The center electrode is larger on the longer duty ones. The smaller electrode ones say they are a performance plug and will give a hotter spark for better economy and easier starting among other claims. I would rather change plugs every 100K miles than more often at 45K. But I do a lot of driving...
