<div class="yiv5808275715MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Comic Sans MS';color:#002060;">Nah. I usually pull them once a year for inspection (removing for valve check/adjustment and compression check anyway), clean and re-gap as necessary, then keep on truckin' until next time. No reason to do it more frequently as long as the engine is running well. I currently have 12,411 miles on a set of NGK BP6ES plugs installed new in October 2012. I got 46,500 miles out of the previous set of Champion RN12YC.</span></div>

<div class="yiv5808275715MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I see that the BMC manual suggest replacing the plugs every 12,000 miles, they having been checked every 1,000 miles per the same book.</span></div>
