Re: spark plugs
That is just plain silly... sparkplugs certainly last longer than they did
back-in-the-day but 7-8 years?

Re: spark plugs
I cancelled the order for the Autolite Double Platinum and went with the
OEM, NGK-ZFR5N plugs that the engine came with. Service manual calls for
changing the plugs at 30,000 miles. I have about 23000 miles on it now and I
know I am changing them early.
