REPLACING SPARK PLUGSGUID-89AEBA13-D3D8-4D70-90D6-4674BC5CE9C3If replacement is required, see an INFINITI
retailer for servicing.
Iridium-tipped spark plugsGUID-4C8CEFDE-424F-4945-8A13-7DFAE22BFEE0It is not necessary to replace the iridium-
tipped spark plugs as frequently as the
conventional type spark plugs since they
will last much longer. Follow the main-
tenance schedule in“INFINITI Service and
Maintenance Guide”, but do not reuse
them by cleaning or regapping. Always replace spark plugs with recom-
mended or equivalent ones.
