When to change spark plugs in WRX?
The dealer told me that I have 60,000 mile plugs in my car. The subaru website said to change them at 30,000 miles. Does anybody know the truth?
Thanks, Eric |

if you car is bone stock then do what the dealer says so if there are any problems blame it on them and warrenty it. other wise i personally change my plugs every 10k. you may also want to read this informations about spark plugs for your own benifit.

considering I've never seen this regarding a plug before, is it normal for the stock 2002 wrx center electrodes to be 'pointy' with a silver 'dot' on the underside of the side/ground electrode? They are labelled "PFR6G" and the center electrode is tapered to a point..
I've only worked with cylindrical center electrodes, and ngk split-type or similar, and have never seen this type of tip before on NGK plugs.. anyone? |
