Pre-Trip Quiz
Platinum tipped spark plugs may last for as many as 100,000
miles.
The answer is TRUE!
New spark plug technology, along with improved engine design and lead-free
fuel, have greatly extended spark plug life. However, the active word
in question #3 is "may". Fine print in most owner’s manuals indicate circumstances
where more frequent engine service is recommended. (Tests show that a
4 cylinder car with just one spark plug misfiring takes 54% more time
than normal to accelerate from 25 mph to 55 mph.)
