Plug change...
At what time/mileage would you change the spark plugs?
I'm @ 15k miles and 3.5 years old...
Dealer is saying I'm close the the 4 year service which includes plugs. I personally think that's crazy, but want some other opinions as well!
Thanks all!!!

Going to keep the car.
Lex, I see that at the 4 year or 40K mark, it just seems crazy to replace plugs at 15k miles to me! LOL
I don't know how 'worn' they'd be at this point.
So...my next question: would you guys do them now or wait until later on. I don't put that many miles on the car per year.
(air filters are going to get done by me sometime in the near future-BMC's will be installed)
Don't know how hard the plugs are to get to. Guess I will search that up!
Thanks again!

Just found this on a search Lex!!!
This is always asked, and endlessly debated. The main reason Porsche wants the plugs also changed at 4 years (or 40,000 miles) regardless of low mileage is having a plug seize in the block. Do you want that risk?? Spark plus are always one of the most overlooked parts on a car, and one of the hardest working. FYI- Porsche does not use, nor recommend, anti-seize on plug threads.
I will be replacing my plugs and engine air filters per Porsche's recommended schedule. I luv that new spark plug feel & smell.
Thanks...answered my question. Didn't know about the concern of a plug seizing in the head.

The good news is, you're going to pay around half (according to my SA) of what it costs to replace the plugs on a TT or .2 because the turbos have to removed to get to the plugs.
The bad news is, you could have enjoyed 25k more miles for the same price from a scheduled maintenance perspective. It's meant to be driven! Go drive it!

For plugs on 991.2, Dealer quoted me $900. Indy quoted $700.
