Spark Plugs
Hey guys I was wondering if any of you had changed your own spark plugs? My Benz is running awesome and I will be getting it back in a few weeks from My Paint guy,And with it comming up to its 100k miles I was gonna change the plugs out and maybe have th etranny flushed and checked.so is it fairly easy to change them? and if so should i replace with thoses Bosch Spitfire(i think thats what they are)the ones with the four prongs instead of 1?
The car doesnt use wires does it? o never seem to see any? thanks for your help guys!

Use the OEM plugs only. They should be listed in the owners manual. Changing them is pretty easy.

Cheers,
Steve

ya just go with recommended plugs, you will notice slightly better performance from new plugs compared to old dirty plugs.
