[QUOTE="Dean Hedin, post: 1025165, member: 57230"] Yardsale, I disagree on the 100k interval. 70k max on the original plugs. Mine were so eroded away (at 75k) that the gaps had opened up by quite a bit. Once replaced with a decent platinum or iridium plug then you probably can make 100k. I would recommend changing the wires if you are changing the plugs. And I would recommend the Bosch magnacore silicone plug wires. My change came about because of a "cylinder misfire" OBD code. It was a bad wire. At that time I went on a holy grail quest for the best wires and the Bosch wires win hands down. They were not that expensive either. Definitely put the dielectric grease in the boots AND put anti-seize on the plug threads. [/QUOTE]
