hey guys, is 10000 miles on a 2006 to early to chang plugs? do you think they will be hard to get out? which plugs seem to be the best? thanks.

 

Do you NEED to change them? No. But is it a good idea so that you don't have to deal with the carbon build up issue? Yes.

Get a one piece design, either the champions or the brisks. And follow the TSB

 

I had mine changed at 70k. Its your call. If you are going to do them yourself, follow the TSB exactly. If you break one, you will have to get a shop to remove it.

 

take them out, clean them, and put them back in with some anti-seize.

 

I broke two and was able to get them out. most would have freaked if they saw what i was doing. I took a long philips screwdriver, a nice heavy hammer and banged the crap out of the porcelin until it dropped about 1/4 inch. after that, i used the extractor tool and they came right out.

 

+1^^

if they don't need they don't need to be replaced, just do a stickshifty suggested

 

i would recommend you do,just to be able to sleep better.i did mines at 1800 miles and two of them felt like if they were locktied.just make sure to fallow the tsb.

 

i thought about just removing them and putting the lube on, but i thought the aftermarket plugs would be better. kill 2 birds with one stone.

 

Would using a lower quality gasoline cause more buildup on the plugs?

 

I have about 45,000 mi on mine... car runs fine. Its your money and knuckles.....

if you do, make sure the motor is clean and dry. Dirt in a combustion chamber? Not good.
