Q: Do I need to change spark plugs if over time limit but well under miles limit?
Manual recommends changing 105000 miles or every 7 years. Only 71000 miles on van, engine is running smoothly and vehicle has always been garaged at end of the day. I admit that I'm a little reluctant to change them because the back ones are very difficult to access so wondering if I can wait a bit before changing them.
My car has 71000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
