Nissan Kicks Spark Plugs Malaysia — HR16DE Iridium

Both standard and e-Power Kicks have the HR16DE 1.6L petrol engine which requires spark plugs. Use iridium plugs (NGK SILZKR7B11 or equivalent) — the HR16DE is designed for iridium, not copper. Replace every 60,000 km. On e-Power, the HR16DE may run in short bursts as a generator rather than continuous operation — iridium plugs handle the varying load cycles better than copper. Always use a torque wrench when fitting plugs on this engine (25–30 Nm) to avoid stripping the aluminium head.
