Why do Changan Alsvin’s spark plugs get worn out quickly in Pakistani driving conditions?

Many users in Pakistan have reported that the spark plugs in Alsvin need replacement sooner than expected. Could this be due to local fuel quality, weather, o r the OEM plug type?

Yes, premature spark plug wear in Alsvin is commonly linked to three major factors in Pakistan:

Low fuel quality: Many fuel stations supply petrol with inconsistent octane levels and excess additives, causing carbon buildup on spark plugs.

Hot climate & traffic: Constant idling in traffic and hot weather cause plugs to run at higher temperatures, accelerating electrode wear.

OEM spark plugs: Alsvin comes with copper o r nickel-type plugs which have a shorter lifespan than iridium/platinum types and degrade faster under local conditions.
