First of all, dont leave ANY plug in for 100K. Odds are, problems will happen. Admittedly, 25k is early for a change, as well as 36K. So, its your call. I dont know where you getting them plugs at for $80-100. I got Motorcraft SP462 for $5.19 ea and an 8ozbottle of nickle anti seize for $11. I look at it as cheap insurance.

not a bad way of looking at it, this is my second s197 GT since 05, thinking about trading in for a 3rd, and i've never broke even 20k miles on one of these yet [sm=smiley26.gif]

exactly how i do it.....you can feel it drop
slightly, when it's ready to be turned clockwise

Something i have always done is turn it counter clockwise till the thread hops into the groove then back clockwise really slow. If it gets tight within the first 1/4 turn, you know it's x-threaded because the first rotation should be smooth as glass. Seems to work for me.
