As the YouTuber tells us, spark plugs on LPG cars tend to last less than those on gasoline cars, because LPG burns at higher temperatures than gasoline, and this leads to faster wear of the spark plugs. Although the actual duration may depend on various factors, it is advisable to replace the spark plugs on LPG cars every 25,000 km approximately.

It is advisable to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and carry out regular checks, even though the quality of the spark plugs, the type of engine, and driving conditions certainly have their influence. Problems caused by the poor condition of the spark plugs can be: decrease in performance due to poor combustion, increase in fuel consumption, high emissions, knocking in the engine, misfires, engine overheating.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
