Take one or two out and check the gap. If it has changed to something like 0.60 and it is obvious the electrode is burned, it's time for a change. A general rule of the thumb is to change them at 30,000 miles.

i got some new bosch platinum 4's just now... they are nice... took about 1- 1.5 hours to install. cause of i had to take a break to eat some dinner. car runs much smoother. i forgot to put one of the plugs back on and i thought i had rough idle cams in there atfirst. it was rough. so i put it on and it runs smoother. i feel alittle smoother accel also. now over the next couple weeks i will find out if my mileage jumped.
