Platinum Spark Plugs

When it comes to maintaining your vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency, every component plays a crucial role. At Sant Automotive, we understand the importance of quality parts and proactive maintenance in keeping your engine running smoothly. That's why we recommend platinum spark plugs as a key element in optimizing your vehicle's performance—and pairing them with a BG Intake Valve and Induction Service for maximum benefit. Why Platinum Spark Plugs? Platinum spark plugs offer several advantages over traditional copper spark plugs, making them an excellent choice for modern engines: Durability: Platinum is a highly durable metal that resists wear and erosion better than copper. This means that platinum spark plugs can maintain their performance and efficiency over a longer period, reducing the frequency of replacements and saving you time and money in the long run. Improved Ignition Performance: The fine-wire platinum center electrode of these spark plugs provides a more consistent and efficient spark, promoting smoother engine operation and better fuel combustion. This leads to improved power delivery, throttle response, and overall drivability. Longevity: Thanks to their superior durability, platinum spark plugs typically have a longer service life compared to copper spark plugs. While copper spark plugs may need to be replaced every 30,000 miles or so, platinum spark plugs can often last up to 75,000 miles before requiring replacement. Why Replace Platinum Spark Plugs Every 75,000 Miles? Regular maintenance is essential for keeping your engine in top condition, and replacing platinum spark plugs every 75,000 miles is a key part of that maintenance schedule. Over time, spark plugs can become worn or fouled, leading to decreased performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and potential engine issues. By replacing your spark plugs at the recommended interval, you can ensure optimal ignition performance and prolong the life of your engine. Pairing Platinum Spark Plug Replacement with BG Intake Valve and Induction Service To maximize the benefits of replacing platinum spark plugs, Sant Automotive recommends having a BG Intake Valve and Induction Service performed in conjunction with the spark plug replacement. This comprehensive service targets carbon deposits and contaminants in your engine's intake system, restoring airflow and optimizing performance. By combining these two services, you can ensure that your engine is operating at its best, with improved power, efficiency, and reliability. At Sant Automotive, we're committed to helping you get the most out of your vehicle. Whether it's recommending quality parts like platinum spark plugs or providing top-notch maintenance services like BG Intake Valve and Induction Service, we're here to keep your engine running smoothly for miles to come.

Do Tires Expire?

Image
  Do tires expire is a question that our customers often ask. For years many motorists have relied only on tread depth to know when it is time to replace them. Unfortunately, the age of your tires is also a factor. Over time, tires can dry out and crack. Excessive heat and sunlight contribute to this and can cause tire to unexpectedly fail, even when there is plenty of tread remaining on the tire . Tire manufacturers offer different opinions regarding how long tires will last, but the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NTHSA) recommends that you replace tires after six years . How do you know how old your tires are ? The best way to know the age of your tires is to check the Department of Transportation (DOT) code. The manufacturer stamped it in the sidewall of your tire. DOT numbers identify the manufacturer and the make of tires, but they also tell you when the tires were made . The last four digits of your tires’ DOT code tell the month and year of manufa...

What is a Belt Tune Up?

Image
A Serpentine Belt is the rubber Drive Belt that causes the pullies on your car's Alternator, Air Conditioning Compressor, Water Pump, and Power Steering Pump to rotate and to create electrical and mechanical power. Rotation of the alternator creates your car's electrical power. Gas powered vehicles have one or more Drive Belts, at least one Belt Tensioner, and they may have one or more Idler Pulleys. Belt Tensioners insure that the Alternator, A/C Compressor, Water Pump, and Power Steering Pump continue to spin with the rotation of the engine. Idler Pulleys are simply pulleys that do not drive other components. Idler Pulleys are used to route the Serpentine Belt.  With use, a Serpentine Belt will stretch and wear.  Belt Tensioners and Idler Pulleys also wear, and this will cause additional belt wear. When a Serpentine Belt breaks, the components that it drives will not longer function. Because of this, Sant Automotive recommends that you replace your Serpentine Belt(s), Idler ...

What Do Spark Plugs Do?

Image
  Spark Plugs are the small electrical parts that provide the power to ignite the fuel in gasoline powered devices. As electricity passes between the Spark Plug's electrodes, gasoline ignites causing an explosion that powers your vehicle. Spark Plugs fire once every two engine rotations. This means that if your engine is running at 800 RPMs, your Spark Plugs will fire 400 times per minute. The heat produced by these explosions causes the Electrodes to wear which increases the gap between the Electrodes. The increased gap causes your vehicle to use more fuel to produce the same amount of power.  Worn Spark Plugs reduce Gas Mileage, and unburnt fuel will damage your car's Oxygen Sensors and its Catalytic Converter. Also, the longer that plugs stay in a vehicle, the more likely they are to become stuck in the engine's cylinder head. If a spark plug breaks, it can be very expensive and time consuming to extract it. For these reasons, Sant Automotive recommends that you change y...
