Just curious on when to change spark plugs.
I have about 100,000 km (65,000mi) on NGK Vgroove Platinums... Anyone think I should change them? Any benifits to this? |

If ur cars not running right you should change them. Just take them out and take a look at them. 65K is maybe around the time to change but usually a nice cleaning and re-gap will do u just fine.

For the intake manifold? Just a regular areosol exhaust cleaner works fine. Spray it in while the engine is running and you'll see all thsi black smoke come out the back. Gross but it works!
K&N Filter Cleaner -- is good for the intake. Spray it with the cleaner. Rinse. Repeat, and seal with the oil Makes a difference  Injectors .. just use a fuel additive - STP, CD2 whatever. Oil .. CD2 One Step Powerback .. works great! Plugs .. I just changed .. car runs smooth again
