Why do you think our plugs won't last 100K?

have you seen the pics of other members takin their's out at say 25k? black with carbon residue. plus ive been running tuned for the last 16 months now. so just think 30k is a good time to at least remove them and see how they look. and just like takin the factory ones out and replace with better plugs. at least i work at a land rover dealer where techs here have been dealing with the coil on plug designed spark plugs. plus get them all changed out for parts plus a 12 pack. screw takin it to the dealer so they can charge an arm and a leg. just really wanting to know when to change m/t fluid.

MT fluid lasts a long time. I can't remember if the owner's manual even recommends a chnage or not. I like to change mine every 2-4 years, depending on use.

I'd like to know if people have changed to amsoil or royal purple or some of those "magic" brands and hear if they noticed a different in shifting feel etc.

I'm at 36k on my 06 and was thinking about doing this as well. Any help?

ive read on here where a lot of guys/girls have switched but ive also read where some have changed back to oem fluids. not sure if it is the fluid or what that made them change back to some other non-magic brand.
