Antisocial Weird Member Member 1,347 Member For: 22y 5m 15d Location: ACT Posted 17/05/07 12:53 PM Share Posted 17/05/07 12:53 PM Just had the 60,000 service done on the Hoffoon and noticed I was stung for new plugs. Asked the service manager why as I never had to chenge them on the previous XR6T.Sure enough in the owners manual it says the spark plugs need changing every 30,000k, was news to the service manager too......I checked when back at home and they didn't change them back at the 30,000k service.Do they need to be changed at 30 or 100k intervals on the BF F6's or even the povo XR6T's? Why are they different I wonder? Seems the more you pay the less you get....

In my stock T my plugs were stuffed at 35,000kms and was causing a misfire (only noticable on the dyno though noticable - ie lean spike). The plugs were stuffed mainly due to dirty fuel, so the stock T was running lean (low fuel pressure). I think its good insurance to change them every 30K at least. With a tune I use LPG plugs which were about $45 a set.
