AIR CLEANER Platinum-tipped spark plugs (except California models) A It is not necessary to replace platinum-tipped ᭺ spark plugs as frequently as conventional type spark plugs because they last much longer.

NOTE: After installing a new air cleaner, make sure the air cleaner cover is seated in the housing and latch the clips.
