When should I change the plugs?
When should I change the plugs?
I bought my Vibe with 99K miles. Soon after, I checked the plugs and they looked like new with a nice clean burn on them. I'm now up to around 117K and I'm wondering if I should change them anyway. I don't know if they're the original plugs or not. It's 99% highway driven 03 AWD and I average 28 MPG at 70-75 MPH.

I just rolled over 100k and bought a new of plugs for mine. They've been on the front seat all weekend. I was hoping they would installed themselves. I guess I bought the wrong brand.

Re: When should I change the plugs? (Vibe_dude)
what is front diff. I changed the transaxle fluid, the transfer case oil and the rear diff oil. I did not know about a front diff I thought that was part of the transaxle
