I am so use to my previous cars, I based this on 4 plugs. I have driven 4-bangers for 19+ years. 13 of those years in SR20's. First 6 cylinder I've owned is this Max. I had it embedded in my brain when I was calculating the cost 4 x $10!

FYI, anyone who's interested in NGK Iridium plugs they have some on Ebay that are selling for $38.95 BIN plus $6.95 shipping for a full set of 6. I probably would have bought these myself if I didn't need them in such a hurry.

I wouldn't suggest this to a 3.0L owner just because of price difference (Pt / Cu / Ir) alone, but since the 3.5L plugs are all so close in price, Ir's >*
Spark plug poll
I just bought some NGK V-Power copper spark plugs. (BKR5E-11) They were $1.79 each. I've decided to go with these instead of the stock NGK Platinums because it's alot cheaper and I don't really mind changing my plugs more often.
To those that have changed there plugs, what did you go with?
Also, I have 43k on my car now. Should I put my new plugs in now? My car seems to be running top notch. I was gonna wait until 45k perhaps 50k.
