dunno, but when you go to do plugs you'll know right away as gobs of oil will be dripping from your coils.

Thanks, plan to change them next week.

I am now a member of the oily coil club. First 3 cylinders on the driver's side and two in the center on the passengers side are leaking profusely. I think its so odd how a few of the cylinders are perfectly dry and all the rest are so oily. thank goodness I still got a little factory warranty.

If you replace the plugs (and you shouldn't have to...you should have plenty of miles left on the factory ones) just use the factory replacement plug. Contrary to popular belief, there is no hp or performance gain in most cars because of a different brand of spark plug. So just use what the factory recommends. However, when you take out the factory plugs, you will more than likely find there are two different part numbers installed...one for each side of the engine. The replacements you get will all be one part number. This is normal and nothing to worry about.

The main reason I changed the plugs is that the warranty was about to be up and I wanted to see if I had the leaky valve cover seals so I could have it warrantied before it expired. The car has 45k on it so I decided since I had to go to all the trouble I would go ahead and change the plugs, I went with the OE reccomended Autolite Iridium's.
