★ Top Answer
The Chevrolet Cruze comes with either a 1.4 liter 4-cylinder engine or a 1.6 liter 4-cylinder diesel engine, both using 5/8" spark plugs that should be tightened to 18 ft-lbs of torque. These spark plugs will likely need to be replaced at some point during the vehicle's lifespan. Chevrolet advises getting them serviced around 100,000 miles. If your car is experiencing misfiring, decreased fuel efficiency, backfires, starting issues, hesitations in acceleration, or power loss, it may be time to replace the spark plugs. These plugs play a crucial role in managing the engine's timing, ignition, and spark, so it's essential to keep them in good condition for your Cruze's engine. The average cost to replace each plug, including parts and labor, is between $122 and $140.
