<p class="MsoNormal">OK Steve – I’ll bite: What caused the
change from Champion RN12YC to NGK BP6ES? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your having kept the Champions in for over
46,000 miles would usually lead to conclude you had a good to
great experience with them.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">On the other hand, to change brand after
all that time and mileage would seem to indicate just the
opposite!</p>

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></p>
