Hello NAM, a quick question. It says on a little sticker on the drivers door that (to paraphrase), "...as this is a John Cooper Works tuned car, the spark plugs should be changed after every oil change...". BMW changed my oil today, but not the spark plugs. Should I be worried? Not care?Rush off to the garage for new ones? Why do I need to change the spark plugs? I can get new ones tomorrow but it's a bit of a haul so would rather not bother...Any advice...thanks in advance. (I think that might be more than one question!)

 

My sticker says:

"Attention
John Cooper Works Tuning Kit Installed!
Replace spark plugs at every second oil change!"


Mini Mania has both the spark plug socket and factory spark plugs to do the job. The torque specs and instructions are also listed. Very cool

 

As above: change every other oil change; and, while under free maintainance, I should think they would be covered.

 

My dealership told me that the spark plug service needed for the Stage 1 JCW engine tuning kit at every second oil change is not covered by the free maintenance. I don't know whether the same applies to the spark plug service for factory JCWs.

 

The actual OBC oil change is at about 20-22k and again at about 30k. So 30k is what the recommend for a plug change? What is it on the r56?

 

40K
