Cool man. I must say its nice not to have to dread that anymore. I really believe now that the problem was blown out of proportion on here. I think with all short trips and using crappy gas then they may break. A little good maintenance goes a looong way!

 

thats what mine looked like, after i wiped them off, i was at 50k, before i wiped them off they were pretty dark and wet from the pb blaster, but they wiped clean, i use only shell or BP

 

what level gas do you use at shell? their premium? I occansionally switch back and forth between the medium and high grade.

 

Naw man, I use Shell, except I occasionally fill up with the Conoco near my house. Those suckers will slide out on their own!

 

Hey man, could i have those plugs? About 30,000 more on mine and then I could put those in!

 

im at 76k with the stockers.....i have used 100% shell reg for the first year and premium the second year(cuz of the xcal2) regular oil changes every 3-5k miles and i live in the booneys so all my trips are long, only down side is i drive like a pissed off teenager, im pleanty capable of puling plugs just kinda scared of breaking one with my high miles

 

I use just regular 87 octane only. I too used premium for a little while when I had the x-cal in but quit fooling with that thing a year ago. Oh and blue...I would ship you the plugs but think I'm gonna keep them as a tribute to a bullet dodged.

 

Just take a picture and frame it, send me the plugs!

 

ok ok you win. You want the Mobil 1 when I drain it next? I change it every 3k miles.

 

SInce I don't put that many miles on my truck (16 MOS. old now and 8500 miles on it) At what point should I be thinking about changing my plugs so that I don't run into this dreaded plug issue????

 

Naw, i won't run that crap in my engine!

Wait, I need to change the oil in my lawnmower, go ahead and send a jug of it.

 

I would still do it at 30k miles at the latest. I put 18000 on mine the first 8 mos of ownership and then went back to a company car. I've only put 10k on it the last 2 years...all highway pleasure use. If you are keeping up on the maintenance and using good gas you should be fine. I just wanted to get the originals out early to see their condition and to get new ones in with the anti sieze on them. I probably will let these new ones go longer. Just my .02

 

I got a cool idea. I'll save up a 55 gallon drum of it and have Jamz bring it to you in his truck. (j/k Jamzy)

 

Well, in East texas, there are roads called "oil roads". They grade the dirt and then surface with a layer of crude oil. If jamz trys to haul it, I bet there will be a highway "resurfacing" between here and SA.
