Not sure if this is in the right section but figured since they run off of fuel it would be close enough.
How long can you get out of a set of spark plugs? I know this is going to be an extremely variable answer based on type of engine, carb vs. FI, etc. I was more specifically looking at cars. I have a 2000 silverado and an 06 durango but with between 100-110K miles on them. Both run great and have no reduction in power/fuel economy.
I know for a fact that neither have had the plugs replaced and they are running platinum or iridium plugs. My question is: If the vehicles are running fine is there any real reason to replace them? Changing plugs these days can be a real P.I.T.A on newer cars. I was wondering how long some have gone on a set of plugs before they noticed any reduction in performance.
