Sparkplugs did not change, sparkplug life changed, so Porsche extended the recommended change interval. Keep in mind sparkplugs are cheap, gasoline is not, & neither is Porsche labor, but once the sparkplug is removed for inspection there is no abitional charge to reinstall new plugs. Also late model Porsches do not have magnetos
