How often should replace Plugs and Wires?
I noticed I am about to come up on 10k miles since I replaced them. Should I just pull each one when I hit 10k and clean and gap the if need be or can I get buy another year before I need to due so. I know that you should replace your air filter every 50k depending on your driving habits but I didn't know about the plugs and wires. So what due yall think go another year or check them when I hit 10k.

I am using the Ac-Delco Copper Spark Plugs with an off brand wires. I think they are the O'Reilly house brand wires but not for sure.

if you dont drive very many miles they are fine, probably what came in your car, i would have to replace them 2-3 times a year so they dont make sense for someone who puts the miles on.
if you put the model, year, and trim level in your sig it helps people to help you.

Copper plugs have an expected service life of about 20-30K miles depending on abusive driving style etc. Plug wires, well they are good until they cause you issues.

Cool so I will check them next year then. It will allow me to get other things done to my car for the time being. It would be nice it my car would give me one month of freedom of something not breaking or leaking. Now that would be nice.
