The spark plugs in your car are a
special platinum-tipped design for
longer life. They only need to be
replaced every 7 years or 105,000
miles (168,000 km), whichever
comes first.
Clean the hood latch assembly with a
mild cleaner, then lubricate it with a
multipurpose grease. Lubricate all
the moving parts, including the pivot.
Follow the time and distance
recommendations in the
Maintenance Schedule. If you are
not sure how to clean and grease the
latch, contact your Acura dealer.
Remove the cover over the spark
plugs by removing the four 10 mm
bolts and the two 10 mm cap nuts.
Replace the spark plugs one side at a
time. Make sure the front cylinder
ignition coils and the back side of the
cover are marked ‘‘FR’’ and the rear
cylinder ignition coils and the back
side of the cover are marked ‘‘RR’’.
