      This is interesting. After seeing this thread I had to look at my owner's manual; I couldn't believe the recommended spark plug replacement interval was 25k. The manual goes a bit further in saying not to exceed 37.5k. Jesus! What the hell did they use for plugs?
      Sorry GM, the Turbo Sonic was priced too close to the Focus ST. I gots me a Ford.

      they are standard coppers, i had to replace mine at 19000 miles because it started to miss terribly. I think i am due for another set here soon..

      I donīt know if am I wrong but I change the sparkplugs every 10,000km (is cheap part) and then my car always is working fine (just like 10 box)

      Every 10k km? I'd be wrenching every 8 weeks. I'll plan to change the plugs when I do the belts at 60k...I'm at 38k now. I guess it'd be different if I did a lot of short trips, but my car never starts without driving at least 6 miles.
