bull crap. Ford recommends 120,000 + miles on plugs. Read the service bulletin.

Do they put anti sieze on the plugs from the factory? Would hate to wait till 100,000 and have it take the head with it when they are removed?

No, they don't. You can get a small packet of anti-sieze for about $2 and only takes about 30 to 60 minutes of your time (taking your time, of course)

Also get some dialectric(sp) grease for the boots; again, can get a small packet for around $2 (is enough for all 8).

I'm reading from Alldata, which, if I may, is probably more reliable than service bulletins. At 100k miles, I'm doing my plugs, baby. Unless I feel that I need a tune-up before then. But no one has answered my question: Has anyone needed a tuneup yet?

after removing coil packs , blow out around plugs with compresseed air - then spray a little penetrating oil downaround plugs . back the plugs out 1/8th of an inch and let them set for 5 minutes . do not use to much penetrating oil or u could hydrolock the motor .
