How do You know You ask.? You wont engines computer compensates for any wear on them. 100,000 or so kms
is about the life expectancy of O.E.M spark plugs you dont whant to go any further then there designed Or
You could damage a Coil pack or two.

Re: spark plugs?

I always do the minimum changes when getting a new car just in case.
oil, coolant, filters, plugs, etc. Just so i know when they will be due

If there left in there too Long Yes they can damage a coil Pack or two and also corrode threads inside the cylinder head being dificult to remove on the way out listen save yourself the headaches. If Your doubt? Just change them and start with a new proper O.E.M. set for peace of mind. and that way You no there fresh New S/Plugs
