    Thanks. I tried to find it before I asked. No CEL's yet. Anyone who has E3's, looking for your opinion.

    Not enough
    Yes, I can tell it is running more smoothly after a half day driving(worst plugs at .058"). Out side of that I have no idea about gas or RWHP or 1/4 mile track times(probably still around 18 flat!). However I feel good about performing my own maintenance. And my hat off to all you guys that help make this board great..

    It is not do or die to change them at 30k but I bet performance starts to diminished somewhat after....

    It feels more fresh now! But............

    not as fresh as my Moms 1998 Honda Accord V4, 149,000 miles and she had never changed the plugs!!! So we changed them out, my mechanic friend laughed so hard he almost feel out of his lounge (Dewalt) mechanic chair...lol

    There was almost nothing left to the plug, like a little chard little something (really bad), he took a plug to show others. I knew when he got up from the lounge chair it was a show stopper!! He started showing everyone and telling the story, exaggerated of course.

    I COULD TELL AN IMMEDIATE change when I started it up, Ran smooth as your mothers Honda ever did!!!
