Title: Should I change the plugs?
Post by: Sug on October 14, 2012, 09:08:42 am: Car is going in for service and few other little bits and just wondering if changing the spark plugs is worth it or should I just stick with the oem ones. Car is a 2008 edition 30 and has done 50k.

Your next service (it's 4 year one service) should be a major service inc plugs etc but you car services may be out of sink so hard to say without looking. If you do change the plugs and your Eddy is standard I would stick to the OEM plugs, they are perfectly good enough IMO.
