I recently purchased a Ford S-Max and it's time for a tune-up. How do I change the spark plugs on this specific model? Do I also need to replace any other parts during the tune-up process?
ReplyHi Ethan, congratulations on your new Ford S-Max! Changing the spark plugs in this car is a simple process. First, make sure the engine is cool before beginning. Then, locate the spark plugs, they're usually on top of the engine and look like small black cylinders with wires attached. Use a spark plug socket and ratchet to remove the old spark plugs and replace them with new ones. It's also a good idea to change the spark plug wires and air filter during a tune-up. Happy driving!
Hey Ethan, I have a Ford S-Max too and have changed the spark plugs numerous times. Make sure to have the right tools and a torque wrench to avoid over-tightening. I also recommend using dielectric grease on the plug wires for a better seal. Good luck, man!
Hey Ethan, I'm a mechanic and I've worked on many Ford S-Max's. Just like the others have mentioned, changing the spark plugs is a simple task. Make sure to use the correct type of spark plugs for your specific model, as different engines may require different types. Also, check the owner's manual for any other recommended maintenance during a tune-up. Hope this helps!
