Spark Plug Change - V10

I'm coming up on 100,000 miles on my 2005 Chateau w/ V10...time to change plugs.

What has changed that allows plugs to last so long - we used to change them every 12,000 miles. Of course for what the shop gets, you couldn't afford to change the V10 plugs more often.

If you are going to attempt to do this yourself, you'd be well advised to let the engine cool down, and spray some PB Blaster down all ten spark plug holes. Once you have all ten plugs removed. Crank the engine over a couple revolutions to blow any foreign debris away from the plug holes.

Platinum plugs and very clean running engines with better rings.
