Hey guys. How often do you guys change out your spark plugs? I'm approaching 30k miles and I'm reading some people are changing them out this early.

 

It doesn't look too hard to change them out. My truck will probably reach 30000 in a couple years and I would change them out just for piece of mind.

Recently changed mine out at 30k. I just followed the write up in the post above. Pretty easy.

 

Thanks guys. Yeah looks easy. Never thought I'd have to change them out so soon. Bought new on March 27 and 30k miles already...

What kine oil are you guys using?

 

I use Mobil 1. I just buy it whenever it's on sale at Costco.

 

Planning on changing out some suspension part

Changed em at 50k

 

changed mine out at 50k, put some iridium in. Supposed to last for 100k miles, i got 125k miles right now.

 

I changed my at 30-31k with regular v-power ngk plugs.

I been using penzoil pure full synthetic 5w-30 every 6000k.

 

I noticed everybody changed plugs between 30k to 50k mile mark. I totally forgot about the plugs until I noticed my gas mileage go down, then changed them. So, didn't change my plugs till the 100k mark. As for oil, Royal purple 5w-30 every 5k miles

 

Anyone looking for a new key fob cover or shift knob?

RP is rated to 10k miles.

 

I changed plugs at 10k and again at 25k, but Nossan so...

Oil I used RP every 8k for awhile, but switched to Pensoil Ultra Platinum last year and like it. Remember, it's not just oil, it's Pensoil!

 

The shift knobs might be ok, but don't get the Fob covers! I did and they suck! Cheaply made and very porous and attract dirt...

 

Thanks for the heads up. I was just about to order one.

 

So....
The movers are scheduled, the dog's flight is scheduled as well as the drop-off date for the truck. The end is quickly approaching.

 

when is the drop off date for the truck? Are we able to go do one more run before you gotta drop it off?

 

May 19th. I'm trying to keep the truck as clean as possible so I don't screwed out of being able to ship it.

One thing that is good to keep in mind about oil changes...most synthetic oils last 6-10k, but most oil filters should still be changed at 3-5k. If I'm changing my oil filter, I'm prolly just gonna change the oil too.
