Iridium-Tipped Spark Plugs

Because iridium-tipped spark plugs A last much longer than conventional spark plugs, they do not need to be replaced as often. Follow the maintenance schedule in the "NISSAN Maintenance and Repair Guide". Never reuse worn iridium-tipped spark plugs by cleaning or adjusting the spark plug gap.

  • QR25DE: Always replace the spark plugs in your vehicle with the recommended spark plugs.
  • VQ35DE: Always replace the spark plugs in your vehicle with the recommended or equivalent spark plugs.

WARNING

Make sure the engine is off, the ignition is off, and the parking brake is firmly applied.

WARNING

Be sure to use the correct socket to remove the spark plugs. An incorrect socket may damage the spark plugs.

Consult your NISSAN dealer if you need help replacing the spark plugs.
