I always use OEM everything. No aftermarket parts for me.

So how often do you guys change plugs?  I changed mine in the Opti every 100 hours and got 14 good years out of it.  So that would have been 8 sets.

Somewhere around 100 hrs.

How often do you change them in your vehicle or lawn mower?   

You'd be better off concerning yourself with aged fuel.....than aged spark plugs.

As a matter of mechanical science, y'all should be changing injectors more frequently than spark plugs.......But you ain't gonna, cuz they are over 400.00 apiece 😅 

If you truly want to save your motor and preserve performance though..... that's what you should be changing.    

Now, with that in mind.....How much prouder are you of EFI/DFI technology vs. Carburetors?   😉

carb for life...lol. My 2004 xr6 has never left me adrift.......well maybe once when the master mechanic at Mcallister marine put a new pick up tube in my gas tank that only went down half way....i kept on having issues running out of gas....my tank has a step on it and needed a pickup tube that hit the bottom.  you would think when he pulled the long tube out it would have been a sign.
