Installation
Work on a cooled engine using the specified tightening procedure. Do not adjust a fine-wire plug gap unless its manufacturer explicitly permits it.
Schedule applicability
Use the severe schedule when driving mainly on trips under 5 miles (under 10 miles in freezing weather), above 90°F/32°C, in extensive idling or stop-and-go use, with a roof rack or on mountain roads, or on muddy, dusty or de-iced roads. Occasional severe use follows the normal schedule. U.S. schedules only.
