Spark Plugs
 

Hey guys, how often should I replace my spark plugs? What ones do you recommend (link)? Do you have a URL to a DIY video or instructions ?

Thanks everyone

I found this info here: Maintenance Schedule - Porsche Boxster (986) FAQ

Check out this site.

Lots of maintenance how to videos

For today's cars, and 'regular' driving, i always use what the oem put in the first time.

Take a look at this video! There are two plugs that are hard to reach. They are the ones nearest the Drivers/Passengers seats.
I changed my Spark Plugs at 30K miles. Amazon had the OEM Beru Plugs (made in France) for $42. I only paid 30 because I had some Amazon purchase points.


Hope this video helps!

good beginner vid, also remember to check the gaps before you put in the new plugs

Patience
 

Get the car as high as you can (I assume you do not have a lift ) , remove the back tires and the fender well covers. If you do not know it might be a good time to replace spark plug O rings as well. The inner most two are a challenge. I thought I had purchased the latest and greatest multi prong spark plugs but found I had not.....so I went to O'Rileys and just purchased a premium plug....cannot tell the difference....a spark will always find the path of least resistance anyway.
