When to Replace the Spark Plugs in an Opel Adam?

Model: Vauxhall Adam MK 1 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Spark plugs

According to the manufacturer, the spark plugs, and consequently the entire service of the car, should be replaced every 15,000 miles, or every year, depending on which event occurs first. However, if you cannot or do not want to follow the manufacturer's recommendations (which I strongly advise against), the spark plugs are worn and need to be replaced when the engine starts to lose revs, struggles to maintain idle, and you notice a drop in power; but as I have already said and now reiterate, I strongly advise against significantly extending the interval between services, as this can lead to serious mechanical problems for the car.

As shown, the filter is positioned at the lower part of the engine, right between the left half-shaft and the sway bar attachment. To replace the filter, first, go underneath the vehicle, taking all necessary safety precautions. Then, using an 18mm wrench, open the drain valve and allow any water present to escape. Next, unscrew the housing, remove the old filter, insert the replacement along with a new gasket, and reassemble everything.
