How Do I Change the Spark Plugs in a Kia Picanto?

Changing the spark plugs in your Kia Picanto is a crucial maintenance task for ensuring your engine runs smoothly. If you notice a decrease in fuel efficiency or engine misfires, it may be time to replace your spark plugs. In this guide, I will walk you through the steps to change your spark plugs and get your Picanto running like new again.

First, locate the spark plugs under the engine cover. They are typically attached to the engine with a wire. Using a spark plug socket, gently remove each spark plug from the engine.

Before installing the new spark plugs, make sure to check the gap on each one to ensure optimal performance. Use a gap tool or feeler gauge to adjust the gap as needed.

Next, carefully insert each spark plug into its respective hole and tighten with a spark plug socket. Make sure not to over-tighten as this could damage the plugs.

Once all spark plugs are securely in place, reattach the wire and replace the engine cover. Your Kia Picanto is now ready to hit the road with improved performance!
