Hi,

Exactly my point. You should not be looking for a Plug that will go a bzillion miles. This is especially true given the reports of Platinum Plugs failing and causing damage.

Swapping the plugs every 2 years or 25k mi. affords one the opportunity to inspect the car in some depth for not too much $$. These cars typically need more attention and maintenance than a Honda or Toyota, there's no getting around that. Many issues which pop-up in these cars are progressive and it's usually much easier and cheaper to catch and attend to them in their early stages. Good Stewardship is part of the ownership experience and brings it's own rewards.

Sure, you could simply remove the CoilPak and pull the plugs to inspect them and the Sparkplug Tubes and 'O' rings, but why would you go to all that trouble and not swap the plugs anyway?

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
