100,740 miles on the odo. Old ones looked really good & all the gaps measured .044-.045" I used the same NGK's that were in it, IFR6T11 (4589), $7.99 ea. at Checker's (CSK - Checker-Schucks-Kragen). Old ones were IFR6A11, not sure the difference but they list as obsolete. The new ones were pre-gapped at .044" & I measured each one and that's what they were, nice QA on NGK's part!

Passenger side was a cinch, drivers side rear was a pain, gotta deal with a major wire harness & a/c lines & hydroboost accumulator in the way back by the firewall.

Put them all back in with anti-sieze paste, most of the old ones were very tight & took a fair amount of wrench effort for the 1st 2 or 3 full turns. I pre-soaked them with PB Blaster.

Took maybe 3 hrs total. Stealer charges what -- 5.5 hrs? They do this every day and I do it maybe once every 4 or 5 years? What a rip-off!!! :mad:

Should be good for another 100k miles.
