Default Spark Plug Change was...

... perfectly successful! I was so worried. I've had my 06 GT for three years next month but it only has just shy of 15k on it. We broke the plugs loose and they all came out with about 15lbs of torque. The toughest part was getting something that would reach far enough down into the holes to get them completely blown out. The plugs had a little carbon on them, but not too much. Overall they seemed to be in great shape. We put the new one-piece Champions in. The car runs even a little better now, I think, but it could just be in my head too.

Exactly which plugs, don't think my '05 with 45k has had the change, I've only had it for 6 months!

When I pulled my factory plugs there appeared to be white paint on the tips of them. What's the deal with that?
