Why the right plug matters
For a diesel engine like those found in the 2015 Volvo VNL, spark plugs are a non-factor. Diesel engines operate on a different principle than gasoline engines. Instead of an air-fuel mixture being ignited by a spark, diesel engines ignite fuel through compression ignition. Air is compressed to a very high pressure and temperature, then diesel fuel is injected into the combustion chamber, igniting spontaneously due to the extreme heat. Therefore, there are no spark plugs to consider for your 2015 Volvo VNL.
