[Biturbos4] Spark Plug change interval

[David Kavanagh]

Yes, I priced them at one on-line source and they were about $68 plus
shipping. I think I'll just do the oil/filter an air-filter (which I
just did). I'll wait a bit longer for the plugs... maybe I'll just do
them when I do the timing belt, etc. around 70-75K....  I will hardly
notice the price of the plugs next to the other hardware I'll be
replacing!

Thanks for all the input!

David
