RE: spark plugs
I would wait for someone else to respond also just to double check but I am using Autolite 25's. I did a search and thats what most recommended. I think the price total came out to like $12 bucks when I got mine... not expensive at all.

RE: spark plugs
Yes autozone or advance should have any plug your looking for.... dont buy platinum, go with copper plugs, I use motorcraft, cant remember what # but they are the stock ones, just new!

RE: spark plugs
i dunno... how often should i change them??? i dont mind change every so often... but i wouldnt wanna change them like every 5000miles tho... like once a year or so wouldnt bother me... so like 10-15k??? i want something that performs well.. i how frequently i have to change them isnt a major deal as long as i kno how frequently that is...

RE: spark plugs
Yes go with Copper plugs. Platinums are a waste of money and Iridium would be out of your budget ($12 each)
Coppers should last you about 30K miles as long as you maintain them and your engine doesn't have any blow-by (oil leaks into the cylinder). By maintaining them I mean remove and clean them/gap them whenever you do an oil-change.
