Sparkplugs?

My service light went on and the dealer called and said my car was calling for new spark plugs. I have 27K on the odometer.

At what mileage have your cars had spark plugs changed?

Thanks

36K miles. They have dual ground electrodes, which erode quicker than the single electrode in most plugs. Plus they're platinum, rather than iridium. Seems like the computer is giving you a heads up for the upcoming service.

36k is a long way short of 62k
