Default Spark Plug change interval?

In my EL owners manual it has 50000km change intervals for the spark plugs. I put a set of standard NGK plugs in at 80000km and now the car has done 115000km.

So yeah how often do you guys change your plugs, gap and clean etc.....


Got a day off work tommorrow so trying to find reasons to work on the car...

cheers.....

Don't clean them.

I change mine pretty rapidly due to being supercharged.
Spark plugs are relatively cheap, so changing the more frequently isn’t a bad idea; it will do more good than bad.

every 5-10 thousand. Id say you dont really need to change them any more then the owners manual states, unless its burning them excessively.
