1985 Volvo 740 GL, GLE, Turbo
The spark plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles (50,000 km).
However, city driving or fast highway driving may necessitate changing after 7,500 miles (12,500 km)
of driving. When installing new plugs, be sure to fit the right type and use correct torque, see
"Specifications". When changing the plugs, check that the suppressor connectors are in good condition.
Cracked or damaged connectors should be replaced.
When changing spark plugs, clean the cables and cable terminals, also the rubber seals. If the car is
driven on roads where salt is used during the winter, coat the cables with silicone.
