Best replacement spakplugs?
I recently removed the coil packs on my 04 coupe and there is oil in my my #6 cylinder, I will be calling to schedule an appointment first thing Monday. while doing this I noticed my plugs are shot, the dumb *** that had the car before me must have never changed them, what plugs should I buy to replace them? Or does the dealership replace my plugs while doing my warranty work?

Its not like it was in the 1970's. You don't have to change plugs with every oil change anymore. I think the maintenance interval is something like 100k miles isn't it? I've heard some folks say that unless a plug is physically damaged it doesn't need replacing at all.
I've also heard that most of the 'special' features you pay for on high end plugs are pure hype. When its time I'll probably use OEM or OEM equivalent but I'm not paying more than that. I suspect the NGK Iridiums are overpriced as it is.

For $8.48 ea or $50 for the set, why not? You're going to need to do it at some point anyway and I bet the car will run better with a fresh set of iridiums in there.

I actually think your supposed to change them at 60k, but with these carsand not knowing the previous owners driving habits ill change them anyways. But when I pulled them they looked bad. As far as just going with oem plugs I didn't ask because I was against them I asked bc im a new owner and sometimes other people have found something better. Like to me on my built mustang I use$ 1.98 autolites, best damn firing plug out there imo

Yea your right that one was a pain in the* **. I think im just going to take my new plugs and let them install them since they will be working in there anyways. I just put everything back and left the oil in #6, no point in me cleaning it out since its under warranty. Plus its not my ds so im sure it want hurt it.
