<p class="MsoNormal">OK Steve – I’ll bite: What caused the change from Champion RN12YC to NGK BP6ES? </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>

<p class="MsoNormal"><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></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Do you guys hold to that approximately? By that I mean…..all things being equal and the plugs looking OK & working OK, only swap at +/- 12,000 miles. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Maybe plugs last longer these days? Most things don’t in my experience.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">For what it’s worth, I’m running NGK’s BP6ES. As to the gap, I’ll leave that can of worms closed for the while!</span></p>
