My car (and Manny's I think) are not Kompressor models, and I know at least mine specifies plugs at 40k as well.

I'm curious to see them when I pull them next. About another 20k miles. I've been running nothing but Shell V-power since I changed them last. Wonder if they will be less corroded as an indicator of better gas? Might be interesting.

Anyhow, I was scared of keeping this car past warranty, and I don't know why. $300 in repairs in the last 40k. I do all my maintenance ahead of time, like Manny. I can't imagine this thing would leave me stranded, unless it was some catastrophic, unpreventable failure.

But we are straying from the subject
