Proton Saga Spark Plugs Malaysia
1.3L CAMPRO: 4 plugs copper/platinum every 40,000 km. Malaysia RM 40–100. Standard plugs — no special requirement.
- Standard copper plugs: replace at 30,000–40,000 km (RM 8–15 each)
- Iridium plugs: 60,000–80,000 km interval (RM 40–70 each) — worth upgrading
- Worn plugs cause hard starting and fuel consumption increase
Spark Plugs — Proton Engine Types
Saga/Persona 1.3L VVT uses standard copper or iridium plugs — iridium lasts 60,000 km vs 20,000 km for copper. X50/X70/X90 1.5T TGDI uses iridium plugs rated for 60,000 km. For turbocharged engines, iridium is strongly recommended — misfires under boost cause catalytic converter damage. Always gap-check new plugs before installation. Budget RM 15–30 per plug (copper) or RM 35–60 (iridium).
