Acadia Celebrates 1 Year With MQB #3, Wonders If It's Time To Upgrade...

May be a dumb question but why change plugs if you pulled them and they look good? I know mileage may be a factor but if they aren't misfiring and look as good as those do I would've kept them and checked again next oil change.

I changed them annually (usually between 12k - 14k miles) regardless of what they look like because NGK Ruth's are cheap as dirt. It's like $35 for the set of 4. Sure, it's unnecessary, but when they're that cheap, why not?

$35 for piece of mind is quite cheap. No gaskets or anything else required? I know the dodge 3.6Ls require new intake manifold gaskets. Might have to do mine soon.

plugs are the easiest job on these cars. people love changing them. you can make yourself feel even more useful with some dielectric grease on the boots.

~700 or so miles in so far, and nothing yet. All related monitors check off on readiness.

ICE ICE baby

I'm fine with having a mix of electric and ICE, especially if it scratches that mk2 itch.

also pages per turbo is the new miles per gallon

i'm still at 4 pages per turbo, lol
