J Replacing the spark plugs
Your vehicle is equipped with platinum-tipped spark plugs. It is not nec-
essary to replace the platinum-tipped spark plugs as frequently as the
conventional type spark plugs since they will last much longer. Follow the
maintenance schedule in the Warranty and Maintenance booklet. Do not
reuse the platinum-tipped spark plugs by cleaning or regapping. If re-
placement is required, see your SUBARU dealer for servicing.
