Should I replace my spark plugs

My civic has almost 170000 miles. Bought it with 32000 and I haven’t changed them yet. Car runs great. Should I change them? Or maybe just pull them and inspect. Should I use any anti seize if they look good and am just putting them back in

I’m pretty sure these are the ones I need.

Thanks again

Re: Should I replace my spark plugs

Yes I would replace to keep combustion optimal. You may not have "issues" at the moment but 100k miles is the typical life from an iridium plug.

I have never used anti seize on plugs personally and I think NGK tells you not to on the box because they already have a coating on them.

These are the recommended plugs correct. Any thoughts on which brand I should go with. I just got the spark plug socket. So I’m ready to go.

amazon has the oem NGK plugs $25 each. Why are these so much more? Just because it says Honda?

Just replaced plugs. Went with ngk’s. Super easy. Took 15 minutes.

The old old ones all looked like this:


Glad I did it. They looked pretty rough. Of course with my experience they could be fine. Car stated right up.
