I insist on NGK for ALL my cars! I won't run anything else now .. too bad all the local parts stores near me stopped stocking them recently for some reason!

Is it really necessary to change plugs at 20K miles even though they are 5 year old?

BOSCH PLATIN SPARK PLUGS FR6MPP332, good all round plug

too early to replace wires, but if you want to spend the extra cash get some Magnecor leads
