Kia Spark Plugs

How to Replace the Spark Plugs in Your Kia

The engine in your Kia has been misfiring, and you've run an inspection. Finding the leads on the spark plugs excessively widened, or worse, corroded, it's official: it's time to replace them.

Copper, platinum, or iridium, Soul to Sorento, they'll run you $85 to $115 or so, on average, with labor costs between $130 and $170, usually, if you get the job done at a Kia service centre. It's a lot cheaper, though, if you go DIY. Even less expensive if you shop with us; our spark plugs are not only OEM -- manufacturer-quality, designed to fit and work right the first time -- but also steeply marked down.

Here's how to do it. Just be sure to start with a cool engine; all you'll need is:

• Safety goggles and work gloves
• Socket wrenches
• A wire gauge spark plug gap tool (if your model's owner's manual says to use one)
• A socket swivel (for plugs that are hard to reach)
• Anti-seize thread and dielectric silicone compound
• An extension bar

Afterward, clean the plugs regularly so they last longer. You can wipe debris off them with a cloth (or blast it off using a can of compressed air), scrape crud off the firing ends with fine-grit sandpaper, and run a wire brush over the plugs' threads. Alternatively, you can spray them with brake cleaner and wipe them off; It works pretty well, too.
