Default use them. it's definitely <$10 out the door, and 10 minutes worth of time with your 5k oil change

I don't know what car uses them, but every time I go to Advanced Auto -- they have them. $1.75 range.

Default they seem to fall flat on their @ss right around 6k though...

...but at $1.75 each..who cares. Besides, these cars are probably the easiest to change plugs...

Default I change them about every 50K. Never noticed a difference with new ones.

I'm guessing they'll go quite a bit more than that, but it's not like it costs a lot for the new plug piece of mind.
I've gotten them from Champagne, Autobahn Premier Service, maybe Avalon....pretty much anywhere. I think they were the stock plug on the UrS4, so you can get 'em through dealers, too.
Haven't tried any others with the K04. Just haven't felt the need to, I guess. I s'pose I could look around and find something to save a few bucks with, but if it works as well as it does now, is it really worth it?
