Yeah definitely feels smoother. I can't remember the part number, I'll check when I get home later this arvo

Hi Rai

Do you know how long will the spark plugs in our car will last till.

As the recommended change interval is every 50k or 60k but says if after 3 or 4 years I have not hit 50k, do I need to change the plugs?

Thanks.

If you're tuned I recommend changing them every 20-25k. Not sure about stock tune though.

Change them, especially if you are modded.

My car is still stock, no tunes yet. Just worried if I do not hit the required kms in 4 years not sure if the spark plugs and coil packs will last till when.

Thanks.

A set of plugs is less than $70. Spark plug socket $20. It's cheap insurance to change them on a spare weekend if you're concerned about it. I wouldn't wait 4 years though.
