When should Suzuki Samurai spark plugs be replaced?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Suzuki’s recommendations.

What should I do if I see leaks under my Samurai?

What do hard starts and stops do to my Samurai engine?
