Advice with spark plugs

I changed the car's spark plugs at ~100k.
It's a 96 maxima.
Currently, it's @ ~150k.
Do I need to change them again?
How often?

Thanks

What plugs did you put in? If NGK platinums I wouldnt worry about them just yet. Platinum plugs good for 60k+

This is just me I'm sure other's opinions in this forum will differ. I changed mine @ 100k as well, I now have 135k miles and I don't intend to change them again until I either have starting issues that are spark related or 200k miles, whichever comes first. Just do your PMCS and your Max should last a long time.

I think 100K on a set of NGK laser platinums is pushing the envelope. I have 63K on my original plugs and the car still runs like new.

I have no intentions of changing them unless I notice a reduction in gas mileage or performance.
