Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your Denso W25EB Spark Plugs. These spark plugs are designed to deliver reliable ignition performance for compatible engines. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your spark plugs. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified mechanic if you are not familiar with automotive maintenance.
Required Tools:
- Spark plug socket (correct size for W25EB)
- Ratchet wrench
- Torque wrench
- Spark plug gap tool (if gapping is required, check vehicle specifications)
- Anti-seize compound (optional, for threads)
- Dielectric grease (optional, for boot)
Installation Steps:
- Ensure the engine is cool before beginning work.
- Locate the spark plug wires or coil packs and carefully disconnect them. Note the order for reinstallation.
- Using the spark plug socket and ratchet, carefully remove the old spark plugs.
- Inspect the new Denso W25EB spark plugs for any damage.
- Verify the spark plug gap according to your vehicle's manufacturer specifications. Adjust if necessary using a spark plug gap tool.
- Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the new spark plugs (optional, but recommended).
- Carefully thread the new spark plugs into the cylinder head by hand to prevent cross-threading.
- Once hand-tight, use a torque wrench to tighten the spark plugs to the vehicle manufacturer's specified torque setting. Overtightening can damage the cylinder head or spark plug.
- Apply dielectric grease inside the spark plug boots (optional, but recommended) and reattach the spark plug wires or coil packs, ensuring a secure connection.
- Start the engine and check for smooth operation.

Operating Principles
Denso W25EB spark plugs are critical components of your engine's ignition system. They work by creating an electrical spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, initiating the power stroke. Proper functioning spark plugs ensure efficient combustion, leading to optimal engine performance, fuel economy, and reduced emissions.
Maintenance
Regular inspection and timely replacement of spark plugs are essential for maintaining engine health.
Inspection and Replacement Schedule:
- Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended spark plug inspection and replacement intervals.
- Typically, spark plugs should be inspected every 30,000 to 50,000 miles and replaced as needed, or as per manufacturer recommendations.
Signs of Worn Spark Plugs:
- Engine misfires or rough idling
- Reduced fuel economy
- Difficulty starting the engine
- Lack of acceleration or power
- Check Engine Light illumination
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your engine's performance, spark plugs can often be a contributing factor. Here are some common troubleshooting tips:
- Engine Misfire: Check spark plug wires/coil packs for secure connection. Inspect spark plugs for fouling, damage, or incorrect gap.
- Poor Fuel Economy: Worn or fouled spark plugs can lead to inefficient combustion. Consider inspection and replacement.
- Hard Starting: Weak spark from old or damaged plugs can make starting difficult.
- Rough Idle: Inconsistent spark delivery can cause the engine to idle roughly.
If troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, consult a professional mechanic.
