If you've changed them, what spark plugs are you running?

What mileage do you change the plugs on older cars I used to change them at 10,000 miles on the newest car I changed the plugs was my 2004 tiburon when I changed the timing belt and water pump at 60,000 miles
Cars after that was a TDI Jetta( glow plugs) and a 2014 Elantra coupe which I traded in for the civic .the Elantra had 45,000 miles I didn’t change the plugs on

To my knowledge, they're 100,000 mile plugs officially... I'd suggest doing it more frequently. 50-75k should be good I think.

Thanks. I remembered when I changed the plugs on my tiburon at 60,000 they still looked good but I also run 93 octane in my cars

Word. It's been my experience that the plugs don't really wear out...they just almost 'chemical weld' into the head. Like the Fords that break off...they just get stuck.

Speaking about checking spark plugs. To my understanding you need a thin wall spark plug remover to get to the plugs. Typically 5/8" doesn't work right? Can someone post up a amazon link to the one that works on the CTR? Thanks ahead of time.
