Give Your Mitsi a Sparkle: NGK Spark Plug Replacement Guide
> Righto, let's talk spark plugs. These little beauties are essential for getting your engine's air-fuel mix to ignite properly. When they're a bit past it, you'll feel it – misfires, less grunt, and that fuel bill creeping up. Especially for your daily runabouts like a Mitsubishi Lancer or the family SUV, the Outlander, keeping these sorted is a no-brainer.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Engine misfires or rough idling
• Reduced fuel economy
• Loss of engine power or sluggish acceleration
• Difficulty starting the engine
• Check Engine Light illumination
Will it pass WOF?
While worn spark plugs themselves won't directly fail a WOF, the symptoms they cause (like excessive emissions, misfires, or engine warning lights) can lead to a WOF failure. Ensuring your spark plugs are in good condition contributes to overall engine health and WOF compliance.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 4/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours
Tools Required: Spark plug socket wrench, ratchet, torque wrench, spark plug gap tool (if not pre-gapped), dielectric grease.
Expert Recommendation
Bob at CARFIX always recommends replacing spark plugs at the manufacturer's specified intervals or when symptoms of wear appear.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
