Changing Spark Plugs on 2009 Aveo

[Rotarydial]

Hit 25,000 miles and had to change the plugs on my 2009 Aveo with the Ecotex engine. Surprised how easy it was. If anyone needs instructions let me know.

I like the NGK solid copper plugs, I replaced my stock ones at 50k and even tho they were worn they still worked great.

MY AVEOS 2010 SEDAN 1.6 (103HP) THE OWNER´S MANUAL INDICATE PROPER -STOCK- IS NGK SPARK PLUG NUMBER BKR6E (calibration1.0 to 1.1 mm). I REPLACE WITH BKR15E AND WORK PERFECTLY. SOMETIME I PUT AUTOLITE IRIDIUM BUT I BEEN HAD PROBLEMS TO COLD START.

BKR15E is a much colder plug. With NGK, the higher the #, the colder the plug and vice versa, but for most other mfgs, the higher the #, the hotter the plug. If you get fouling come winter or notice alot of carbon building up, go to a hotter (lower # BKR#E) plug. The rest of the letters should be the same as they describe the length, thread size, and electrode specs.

Iam at mexico city (here not snowing) do you recomending use the bkr15e or bkr6e? (i´m using now the bkr15e and sometimes feels lowest power than bkr6e)

take out the torx screws to remove the coilpack. Then take out the spark plugs underneath.

thanks, rabbit - but do I need to disconnect or unplug it before I remove the torx's? and also, how difficult is it to persuade
the coilpack to lift up? tks

[petrified.rabbit]

it "pops" off, no real persuasion. just a gently even pull. I would unplug it to make life easier, you are going up maybe 5 inches before you could "fold" it out of the way attached so to speak, to it would be easier to unplug and remove than to leave it attached.

well I tried 'prying' the plug away and off but it didn't move much but will try a gently even pull as you suggest,
and I understand from what you wrote that it WOULD be easier unplugged so will try it again...
thanks!

JUST CHECK THE CALIBRATION FOR BEST PERFORMANCE (1.0 to 1.1mm) & ONE BY ONE JUST TO BE SURE TO PLUG THE RIGHT WIRE TO THE RIGHT SPAKPLUG. IF YOU LOST THE SECUENCE JUST CHECK THE LARGE OF WIRES.
