My 2006 has 32k miles and I was under the impression these were good for 100k, although I'd never go that long...
I think that's a bit too soon.
Who says you need to change them?

You can change them with 1 mile on them, the question is why?

yeah, i'm at just over 51 k on my OEM plugs.

you have the best spark plugs avaliable, there is no need to change them until you get a tune up... or get boosted, which is happening eventually for me.

My thoughts - if you are going through all the trouble of removing the plugs, why not replace them? Its not as if they are expensive.

i know they aint that hard to replace, i just want to check my work first and see how other ppl did it but since they supposedly last up to 100k then i wont have to worry bout it later unless i do a visual check which i will be doin soon. and price doesnt really matter i know spark plugs arent that expensive but then agen depends which kind u get.

I have 80K on my 05' and haven't felt the need to change them. Visually they are OK plus, my performance and gas mileage is exactly like when I bought it. I'll change them at 100K I guess
