*** How often do you change your spark plugs?? ***

I just wanted to gather some information about how often evo owners change their plugs.

evo 8 or 9 owner?

How many miles do you let go by before swapping them out?

What plugs do you use?



Any information is great and helpful. I have an evo 9 with 7500 miles over 8 months. Is it time to swap them out?

TIA guys...

Every 10 to 15k on the DSM. Haven't had the Evo long enough, but I'll probably do the same. They're cheap.

I have 37k on the clock and I last changed them for the first time at 14k....I checked them last weekend and they still look good.

I use stock plugs and I might change them only cause they have been in there for almost 23k miles...

16k on my car, changed them about 5 times (lol. although that was because of issues with the car)

normal change should be about 5k miles using copper, theres no reason not to change them with how cheap they are!
